JANUARY, 1915
ABNER CHENEY GOODELL, MA.
By Miss Elizabeth T. Thornton of Lexington, Mass.
Abner Cheney Goodell, a life member and former President of
the New England Historic Genealogical Society, died in his own
house at Salem, Mass., 19 July 1914, in the eighty-third year of his
age.
He was born at Cambridgeport, Mass., 1 October 1831, a son of
Abner Cheney and Sally Dodge (Haskell) Goodell and a descendant
of Robert^ Goodell of Salem, who came to New England from Ips-
wich, England, in the Elizabeth in 1634. From this immigrant
ancestor his line of descent was traced through Zachariah^ of Salem,
Joseph^ of Salem, Joseph* of Grafton, Mass., Joseph^ of Grafton and
Warwick, Mass., Zina^ of Warwick and North Orange, Mass., and
Abner Cheney,^ his father, who was born at North Orange 9 February
1805 and married at Cambridge, Mass., 2 August 1829, Sally Dodge
Haskell, born at Providence, R. I., 5 February 1805, daughter of
Aaron and Eunice (Dodge).
In 1837 the family removed to Salem, and the boy was sent to the
public schools, to be graduated from the High School, in his sixteenth
year, at the head of an unusually excellent class. For the next two
years he was employed in his father's machine shop, but he still kept
up in private his studies in Latin, mathematics, and his beloved
English literature. It is told of him that with the first money he
earned he bought a copy of Cowper's Poems.
Then, in 1849, w^hen Mr. Goodell was eighteen, his mother's
youngest brother, the late George Haskell of Ipswich, observing his
nephew's unusual mentality, took him into his law office, thus winning
the boy's lifelong devotion. Here, under his uncle's guidance, his
attention was directed particularly to the study of the law governing
real estate; but Mr. Haskell always approved and encouraged his
brilliant nephew's interest in other learning, and to him Mr. Goodell
owed much. Mr. Haskell lived until 1898, followed always by his
nephew's grateful affection. Mr. Goodell finished his law studies in
Salem with Northend and Choate, and was admitted to the bar in
1852, at the November term of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massa-
chusetts.
In January 1853 he began the practice of his profession in Lynn,
VOL. LXIX. 1
4 Ahner Cheney Goodell [Jan.
where he remained until 1858, a successful lawyer. Of his reported
cases the most important are Harvey v. Mosley, in which was de-
cided for the first time the age of consent of marriage in Massachu-
setts, and Commonwealth v. Hitchings, which is recognized as a
leading case and accepted as authority both in this country and
Great Britain.
In 1856 he was appointed and the next year was elected register of
the then newly organized Court of Insolvency for Essex County,
which was merged with the Probate Court in 1858. He was then
elected register of this new Court of Probate and Insolvency for
Essex County, and held the office by re-election continuously for
twenty years.
In 1865 he was elected alderman, by unanimous vote on all the
tickets, an office which he desired in order that he might help in the
establishment of a water system for the City. He drew the ordinance
defining the duties of the Board of Water Commissioners, and this
Board was chosen during the same year, thus accomplishing the work
according to Mr. Goodell's hope.
In 1865 Mr. Goodell became president of the Salem and South
Danvers Street Railway Co. When he took it over the Company
carried a debt of S40,000, with its stock almost valueless. When he
left it, after nineteen years of service, the stock brought S200 a share,
and for the last four years of his presidency paid 22% interest annu-
ally and earned 30%. This result was a triumph of organizing power
and executive patience through many difficult years; and it was
always true that Mr. Goodell's ardent interest in the past was matched
by his wise citizenship and his practical outlook ahead. It was he
who first suggested an electric railway between Salem and Marble-
head; but he was refused a location and it was years before that
means of communication was established. When in 1877 Mr. Alex-
ander Graham Bell made his experimental trial of the first telephone
line in Massachusetts, between Salem and Boston, before the Essex
Institute, Mr. Goodell's recognition of the usefulness and value of
the invention was instant. The motion he submitted to the meeting
was thought to be perhaps too enthusiastically sanguine as to the
value of the new instrument. It was, however, accepted, and Mr.
Goodell's words stand on the records, a witness alike to the quickness
of his mental processes and to the soundness of his judgment in
practical affairs.
After giving up his regular law practice Mr. Goodell was often
consulted on recondite matters of law and points of ancient practice.
And all his learning in the law and his marvellous industry were
brought into use when in 1865 Governor Andrew appointed him on
a commission, under a resolve of the General Court, 'Ho prepare for
publication a complete copy of the statutes and laws of the Province
and State of Massachusetts Bay, from the time of the province
charter, to the adoption of the Constitution of the Commonwealth
. . . , with suitable marginal references to the statutes and judicial
decisions of the Province and Commonwealth, . . . and to such other
authorities as, in their opinion, may enhance the value and useful-
ness of the work." For nearly thirty years Mr. Goodell was con-
1915] Ahner Cheney Goodell 5
nected with this service, but there were several interruptions, and he
was actually engaged on it rather less than nineteen years. After
1879 he made the work his chief employment, and gave much time
to the task so fitted to his tastes and his attainments. There was
criticism of his painstaking methods; but such persons as were fitted
by their own pursuits and training to understand the difficulty and
worth of his service had only words of grateful praise for his accom-
plishment. These men knew that the value to the country of his
work, unique in the beginning, would increase with the passing of
each year. His notes, becoming ultimately more voluminous than
the original text, are a monument to his learning and to the unending
patience of his scholarly mind. ''Nobody but Abner Goodell could
have done it'^ was the verdict of a man fitted to give judgment, when
the fourth volume of the Province Laws was finished in 1881.
Mr. Goodell was elected a member of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society 6 August 1862, was made a life member in 1863
and a director in 1884, and was chosen President, to succeed the late
Marshall Pinckney Wilder, in January 1887. He served in the
presidency until 22 June 1892, when his resignation, which had been
announced at the May meeting of that year, took effect, and he was
succeeded in the chair by Hon. William Claflin. He was a life mem-
ber and senior Vice-President of the Essex Institute at Salem, and
was one of the oldest and foremost members of the Massachusetts
Historical Society and of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.
To all of these organizations he was a frequent and valued contribu-
tor. He was a corresponding member of the historical societies of
New York, New Hampshire, Maine, and Rhode Island, a member of
the Old Colony Historical Society of Taunton, Mass., of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of the Prince Society, and was
at one time a member of the Sons of the Revolution. He had been
also a trustee of the Peabody Academy of Science of Salem and its
secretary since February 1867, when he was appointed to the Board
by the founder, George Peabody of London. He was a member of
the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity of Harvard University, and received
the honorary degree of Master of Arts from Amherst College in 1865.
In politics Mr. Goodell was first a Free-soiler, and later he went
into the Republican party when it was organized.
During the years in Lynn Mr. Goodell formed many friendships
amongst the old Quaker families, ties which held through life, as did
his devotion to their noble faith and simple form of worship. ^ His
sensitive nature, keenly alive to spiritual values, responded inevitably
to their high sense of the immediate dependence of the human spirit
on the Divine, as his robust manliness to their conviction of the power
of the Holy Spirit to meet the awakened soul of man and touch it to
eternal issues. For years he attended the Quarterly Meeting of the
Society of Friends, held usually at Newport, R. L, gaining fresh power
from this association with their austere and lovely ways of thought.
Mr. Goodell married, 26 November 1866, Martha Page Putnam,
daughter of Alfred and Mary (Page) of Danvers, Mass. Mrs.
Goodell was a granddaughter of John Page of Danvers and great-
granddaughter of Lieut.-Col. Jeremiah Page of Revolutionary fame.
6 Ahner Cheney Goodell [Jan.
Mr. Goodell liked to remind his wife that she was descended from
the first minister, the first governor, and the first teacher in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony. Their first son, George Haskell, was
born at Danvers 26 December 1870. Soon afterwards Mr. Goodell
removed to the house at No. 4 Federal Street, Salem, which he had
bought a few years before, and here he made his home for the rest of
his long life, adding to it a beautiful library room, a fit place for his
remarkable collection of books. The house was once the old jail,
standing almost on the site of the still older building where the victims
of 1692 were imprisoned, and, to his descendant's great delight, on
land once owned by the immigrant ancestor of his family, Robert
Goodell. In part of this house Mr. Goodell's parents lived for many
years, enjoying the daily attention of their devoted son and his
beautiful wife. Here also was born Mr. Goodell's second son, Alfred
Putnam, 18 February 1877. Both sons survive their father.
Mr. Goodell will be remembered as a true friend and polished
gentleman, of flashing wit and charming presence. He was an able
lawyer and a scholar of good parts, never allowing any lapse in his
devotion to learning, even through the years when he was most
occupied with his duties as wise and useful citizen and man of affairs.
But in these pages it is fitting to dwell especially on the breadth of
his historical learning and the fullness of his antiquarian knowledge,
legal and social — that vast store of meticulously exact detail of New
England's early days that his memor}^ held so easily and that was
always at the service of fellow students. He was the John Selden of
New England's learning.
To walk with him through the streets of Salem was an adventure
back into the early years of his dear town. His brilliant talk played
about the foibles as well as the virtues of the men of colonial and
provincial days; and we felt really intimate with them as Mr. Good-
ell's wonderful memorj^ and exact topographical knowledge led us to
their very homes, and we seemed to see them coming out of their own
beautiful dooi*ways and going about the old streets, taking their
part — wise or foolish — in town affairs, until we followed some of
them even to their tombs in the Charter Street Burial Ground.
The romantic touch that Mr. Goodell knew so well how to give
could not fail to arouse even the dullest modern to keen interest in the
early days ; but he allowed no confusion between what might possibly
have occurred and that which is certainly known to have happened.
He had no mercy for careless methods of investigation or vague
imaginings about the past. The gleaming wit that touched an old
hero — or sinner — was fed by great learning, restrained by a guarded
imagination. There was always authority behind his picturesque
phrases; but there would be none to call antiquarian research dull if
Mr. Goodell's like could be had as guide.
There is reason to fear that with the passing of his glowing and
merry spirit much knowledge of New England's past is again lost to
us. But Mr. Goodell wrote, as he talked, with grace and accuracy;
and in the beautiful open script that made his charming letters so
pleasant to look at was set down much wit and wisdom that now
stand in printed pages — his contribution to human learning.
1915] Ahner Cheney Goodell 7
His eager search for truth wherever it might lead ended sometimes
in difficult places and in misunderstandings that were painful to him.
But no suppression or modification of a fact of which he had assured
himself ever occurred to Mr. Goodell as a way out of his own pain
or difficulty. Once convinced of a truth, he stood by it, a formidable
guardian, the rapier of his wit sharpened by his great learning. His
pamphlet on Crispus Attucks, written in 1873, and his argument
over the Act of 1711, reversing the attainder of persons convicted of
witchcraft in 1692, are cases in point.
His unique work in the editing of the Province Laws stands by
itself and is widely known to students of law and of the past. Of
his addresses and other printed papers two little masterpieces are
especially to be noted. One, delivered in 1871 before the Essex
Institute, on The Interdependence of Science and History, is in its
few pages a notable example of his methods and his power. This
delightful paper shows the deep interest in and wide vision over great
affairs which were as marked characteristics of his mind as was his
extraordinary mastery of the details of small ones. And three years
later, in 1874, again before the Essex Institute, on the occasion of the
centennial anniversaiy of the meeting of the Provincial Assembly in
Salem, he delivered an address thrilling in its tracing of effects to
their causes, in its setting of small happenings in their rightful place
in the inspiring march of great events, in its courageous confidence
in the future of the nation whose beginnings he knew^ so well, in its
fullness of picturesque detail, in its glints of his pleasant humor.
Rather curiously for so keen a lover of beautiful things, Mr. Goodell
was much interested in that black spot in New England's history, the
Witchcraft Delusion of 1692, and he devoted much time to the study
of its rise, progress, and end, intending to write a book on the subject.
His manuscript notes and the books he collected for this work are
said by those fitted to judge to be of great, though as yet unmeasured,
value. The book was never written; but there is in existence one
result of these studies, the manuscript of an address given by him
before the Danvers Historical Society in 1892, when that body com-
memorated the outbreak of the Witchcraft Delusion in 1692 in Salem
Village, now Danvers. This meeting of the Society was held in the
house of worship that stands on the site of the old First Meeting
House, so that Mr. Goodell's learned paper was read as from Rev.
Samuel Parris's own pulpit.
His later years Mr. Goodell passed among his books and in the
constant companionship of his beloved and devoted wife. ^ The
limitations daily forced upon him by physical disabihties, incident
to his years and especially harassing to his outreaching nature, were
borne with a gallant fortitude that never broke, fortitude very moving
to see in a man of his ardent temperament. The affectionate care
that was always given him was met with as unfailing gratitude and
with his characteristic chivalric courtesy. He kept to the last his
keen interest in world affairs, and the end of his long life came peace-
fully as befitted one
"Whose soul was still prepared for death."
Brilliant wit, charming writer, ripe scholar, distinguished antiquary,
8 Diary of James Parker [Jan.
learned in the law, good citizen, true friend, Abner Cheney Goodell
was, first, last, and always, a good man.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mr. George G. Putnam for his carefully
prepared notice that appeared in the Salem News the day after Mr. GoodelFs
death. Many of the dates and some of the facts in this memoir have been taken
from Mr. Putnam's account.
EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY OF JAMES PARKER
OF SHIRLEY, MASS.
Transcribed by Mrs. Ethel Stanwood Bolton, A.B., of Shirley, Mass.
James Parker, Esq., the writer of the diary from which the follow-
ing extracts have been made, was born at Groton, Mass., 26 Nov.
1744, the son of Leonard and Abigail (Parker) Parker, married, in
1767, Sarah Dickinson of Lancaster, Mass., daughter of James and
Sarah (Stickney) Dickinson, and died in 1830. When he began his
diary in 1770, he was a young married man with a little daughter,
Sally.
As early as 1765 he had bought from his great-uncle, William Far-
well, a house and a forty-acre farm on the banks of a brook in the
western part of Shirley, Mass.; and it was to this little two-roomed
house, overlooking a broad green meadow, that he brought his bride.
He left a reputation behind him for efficiency, broadmindedness, and
geniality, combined with a Yanlcee shrewdness at a bargain and a
certain truculence. He was a good farmer, and must have been
versatile, if his own picture of himself is true. Toward the end of
his life he moved into the centre of the town, and there he still gathered
the news of the neighbors, the greater community compensating for
his lessening activity. He was for years the town schoolmaster; but
as we read these pages his elusive spelling shows that education in
those days taught only enough for the roughest kind of figuring and
writing.
The diary comes down almost to the end of Mr. Parker's life, and
it is a great pity that some of the almanacs containing it have been
lost, and that consequently there are gaps in the narrative. He wrote
something eveiy day, but parts were of interest only to himself as a
record of those who worked for him or as a chronicle of the work
actually done on the farm. The following pages reproduce only the
items that are of more general interest. In 1799 his son began to write
the same sort of a journal, and thus for thirty years father and son
both kept diaries. It is singularly fortunate that the elder James was
the one who told of the Revolution, Shays's Rebellion, and the early
history of the town; for the younger James had no such broad out-
look on life. The original diary of the elder James is now in the
library of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, and
through the courtesy of the librarian, Clarence S. Brigham, Esq.,
permission has been obtained to print these extracts. The spelling
of the original manuscript has been followed strictly, but a few marks
of punctuation have been supplied by the transcriber, as the writer
of the diary seldom used them.

From Chancery Proceedings
In 1589 William Awcher ah. Ager, cousin [nephew] and next heir of
Thomas Rowning the elder,t late of Hunden, co. Suffolk, within the Honour
of Clare in the Duchy of Lancaster, complains that Agnes Rowning, widow
of the said Thomas, and one Richard King have conspired to pubhsh a pre-
tended will of the said Thomas, by which the said Agnes claims a life estate
in the lands and tenements of the said Thomas -^^dth reversion to Margaret
King, daughter of the said Richard King, to the ''utter disherison" of com-
plainant, who claims to be heir to the said Thomas, being son of William
Awcher ah. Ager and his wife, sister to the said Thomas. (Duchy
of Lancaster Pleadings, vol. 144, no. A. 8.)
In 1602, William Ager, being then of Bloxwich, co. Stafford, renewed his
suit, claiming that under a pretended will of his uncle Thomas Rowning the
latter's Tvddow held his estates until her death in 1601, w^hereupon the estates
were seized by Margaret, wife of Steven Payne, and Richard King and
Dorothy his wife. The estates should descend to complainant as next of kin
of Thomas Rooming according to the custom of the manor, complainant
being son and heir of William Ager and Alice his wife, deceased, who was
sister and heir of the said Thomas Ro^^^ling. {Ih., vol. 200, no. A. 33.)
[From the foregoing records the following pedigree of the Rownings of
Hundon, co. Suffolk, has been compiled:
1. John Rowning,! born perhaps about 1425, appears on the court rolls
of Hundon in 1459. Probably he was father of
* Defective.
t He is here called "the elder" in distinction from his youngest half brother, Thomas
Rowr»ng "the wheelwright."
X Alice Rowning, mentioned in the court rolls of 1394, was perhaps his great-grand-
mother.
1915] Genealogical Research in England 25
2. William Rowning (John), of Hundon, smith, the testator of 1497.
He was born about 1450, appears on court rolls from 1476 to 1488,
and died between 26 May and 21 June 1497. He married Margaret
Children:
3. i. Thomas, b. probably abt. 1475.
4. ii. John, b. probably abt. 1480.
iii. Agnes, unm. in 1497.
3. Thomas Rowning (William, John), born probably about 1475, in-
herited lands in Hundon and Newmarket from his father. No will
or administration on his estate is to be found, and as the Hundon
court rolls of the first half of the sixteenth century are lost, further
mention of him has not been found. He died probably before 1524-5,
as his name does not appear in the large subsidy of that year.
He was doubtless father of
5. i. Thomas, b. abt. 1510.
4. John Rowning (William, John), of Hundon, the testator of 1549,
born probably about 1480, appears in subsidies from 1524 to 1547
and died between Michaelmas and 3 Dec. 1549. For reasons given
later, it is evident he was twice married. The name of his first wife
has not been learned; but he married secondly Joane , who
survived him.
Children by first wife :
i. Thomas, the testator of 1587/8, b. abt. 1515; bur. s.p. at Hundon
29 Jan. 1588/9; m. Agnes , the testatrix of 1601, who ap-
pears in the subsidies of 1596-7 and 1598-9 and was bur. 27 May
1601. Throughout the manor rolls, registers, and subsidies,
from 1545 to 1589, he is called either "Thomas Rowning junior"
or ''Thomas Rowning the middle," to distinguish him from his
elder cousin, " Thomas Rowning senior " (Thomas, William, John),
and his own youngest half brother, Thomas Rowning, who is
termed "the wheelwright." In his own will he styles himself
"the elder" simply as regards this youngest brother, Thomas
the wheelwright. On 15 Apr. 1577 he surrendered to Robert
Luce two plots of land to which he had succeeded 6 Oct. 1552,
two years after the Michaelmas following the death of his father
John Rowning, as provided by the latter's will of 1 June 1549.
ii. Alice, b. probably abt. 1520; m. William Ager, who is termed
" brother-in-law " in the will of Henry Rowning in 1 566. Children :
1. William, b. probably abt. 1545; plaintiff in Chancery in 1589
and 1602 for the estate of his uncle Thomas Rowning, as heir and
next of kin, this claim indicating that the brothers of Thomas
Rowning were half brothers and that by the custom of this manor
heirs of full blood through females preceded male heirs of half
blood. 2. Robert. 3. Dorothy, a legatee of the will in 1566 of
her half uncle Henry Rowning; m. Richard King; had a son
Richard and a daughter Margaret, the latter (b. abt. 1581) being
the principal reversionary legatee of the will in 1587/8 of her
great-uncle Thomas Rowning and being afterwards the wife of
Steven Payne.
Children by second wife :
iii. Joane, living unm. in 1566, when she is named in the will of her
brother Henry.

utor of his father's will in 1549; appears on the court rolls from
1553 to 1555.
6. V. John, b. probably abt. 1528.
vi. Marion.

7. vii. William, b. probably abt. 1533.

Baron, widow of Wilham, bj^ whom she had had two sons, William
and Thomas. She was buried 13 June 1578. In the court rolls,
subsidies, and registers, from 1543 until his burial, Thomas Rowning
is called ''senior," to distinguish him from his ^''ounger cousins, the
brothers Thomas ''junior" or "middle" and Thomas "the wheel-
wright," sons of John {William, John). He was churchwarden in
1569; and administration on his estate was granted 10 Apr. 1593 to
his son Augustine.

rolls, and subsidies at Hundon from 1574 to 1599. The name of his

50 The Clinton Family of Connecticut [Jan.
THE CLINTON FAMILY OF CONNECTICUT
Compiled by Mrs. E. J. Clinton of Clinton ville, Conn., and communicated by
Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., of New Haven, Conn.*
1. Lawrence^ Clinton was of Ipswich, Mass., as early as 1665.
Two years later he called hunself about 24 years old, and this
would place his birth about 1643. His antecedents are unknown.
The English family, founded in the twelfth century by Osbert de
CHnton, held at this time the earldom of Lincoln. A branch went
to Ireland in the reign of Henry II and settled in County Louth (see
County Louth Archaeological Journal, vol. 2, p. 398); and from this
Irish branch probably descended the Charles Clinton family of New
York, members of which were Gen. James Clinton, the Revolutionary
soldier, George Clinton, Vice-President of the United States, and
DeWitt Clinton, the famous Governor of New^ York. It is possible
that Lawrence Clinton descended likewise from the Irish branch;
the name Lawrence was of common occurrence among the Louth
Clintons, most of whom were dispossessed in the Cromwellian wars.
Records of a court trial in 1667, referred to later, make it seem more
likely that Lawrence of Ipswich was of English birth. James Ford
deposed that he heard Goodman Cross, Sr., say ''that his man
Clenton had good friends in England, he said that Capt. Breeden told
him so." Also Lawrence's sister-in-law, Ruth White, testified that
he "had rich friends in England."
He married first, in Dec. 1665, Rachel Halfield, daughter of
Richard and Martha, a lady thirteen years his senior. Previous to
his marriage he had been apprenticed to Robert Cross, Sr., but
l)Ought his freedom for three years and a half by pa3dng his master
twenty pounds. This money he procured from Rachel, who claimed
that her mother gave it to her. Thomas White, the husband of
Rachel's sister Ruth and guardian of her mother Martha Halfield,
doubted Rachel's honesty, and sued Robert Cross for receiving the
money. The case occupied the attention of the court on 20 Nov.
1666 and again on 27 Nov. 1667. The deposition of Rachel Clinton
herself is of interest:
"This deponent saith that Robert Cross senior did much solisitt me to
be married to Lorrence Clenton & also did labor hard with the worshipfuJI
Mr. Simonds to marry us together. He told me that he was a man that
deserved a maid worth a bushell of gold & also Robert Cross Senr. said that
he would give me a better portion than ever my Father did & also he sent
his son to persuade me to be married to Lorrance Clenton, further this
deponent saith Lorence Clenton said that he had a unkell worth thousands
<fe he would make him his heir & that he had fifty pound in gold to come in
Capt. Pearse, and that he had a mother at Boston and also he told me a
thousand lyes more to delude me so as to be married to him and to cause me
* The material for this article was collected mainly through the efforts of Mrs. E. J.
Clinton of Clintonville, Conn., and was prepared for publication, with some additions,

to put money into his hands. Farther this deponent saith that Robert Cross
senr. threatened this deponent that in case the money now in controversy
were taken from liim again, then he would sell her and her husband Clenton
too for servants." Sworn in court at Salem, 27, 9 mo., 1667.
In 1676 Lawrence Clinton served in King Philip's War. It is not
likely that he lived with his first wife long after their marriage, and
on 12 Oct. 1681 she petitioned for a divorce, which was granted
(Mass. Archives, vol. 9, p. 104). Rachel was tried for witchcraft in
1692, and was confined in the Ipswich jail, but escaped. She lived
the remainder of her life alone, in a hut on Hog Island, Ipswich, on
a piece of land given to her from her mother's estate. On 7 Jan.
1695 administration on the estate of Rachel Klenton was granted to
her sister, Ruth White of Wenham, Mass., who was the principal
creditor.
LawTence Clinton married secondly, at Providence, R. I., 9 Feb.
1680/1, Mary Wooden, daughter of John and Mary of Beverly,
Mass., by whom he had previously had at least one child. She was
born at Haverhill, Mass., 6 Mar. 1653, and died probably at Newport,
R. I., in Jan. 1690/1. The following appears in the records of the
Rhode Island Friends:
" Clenton y® wife of Laurance Clenton: she Departed this Life,
(aged abought 35 yeares:) in newporte one Rhoad Island y^ — : day 11 mo
1690, she was nephew to John Johnson."
The age given does not exactly coincide with the date of Mary
Wooden's birth, but the discrepancy is not great. Her death is given
in the Quaker records probably on account of her connection with
John Johnson, who is mentioned several times between 1679 and 1689
in the book recording the meetings of Friends.
Lawrence Clinton appears on record for the last time in a suit
brought by Peleg Chamberlain to eject him from half a house and
half a lot in Newport, R. L, 28 Mar. 1704 (Newport Court of Trials,
vol. A., p. 153). Judgment was found for the plaintiff, but Lawrence
carried the case to the Assembly:
"Upon an appeal of Lawrence Clinton, tenant to John Easton Jun^ to
this Assembly, against a verdict of jury and judgment of Court passed
against him on a rehearing at the last Court of Triall in September, on action
commenced by Peleg Chamberlain, guardian to the children of Samuel King
deceased, the judgment passed in the Assembly, that said verdict of jury fbe]
conformed, and that this Assembly cannot give the said CHnton any further
relief in said case," 25 Oct. 1704 (R. I. Colonial Records, vol. 3, p. 512).
Samuel King's wife was Jane Chamberlin, born Dec. 1667,^ died
1 May 1702, sister of Peleg; but the basis of Lawrence's claim to
King or Chamberlin land has not been ascertained.
He probably married thirdly Margaret (Painter) Morris, born
about 1667, daughter of Shubael and Mercy (Lamberton) and widow
of Morris (Register, vol. 68, p. 275). She married thirdly
Jeremiah Mott, with whom she removed, prior to 1742, to Walling-
ford, Conn. The evidence for this third marriage of Lawrence
Clinton and for the children of it is circumstantial. In 1702 a Law-
rence Clinton appeared in West Haven, Conn., and settled later at
North Haven. The identity of names makes it almost certain that
VOL. LXIX. 4
52 The Clinton Family of Connecticut [Jan.
he was a son of Lawrence of Newport, R. I., and his age leads us to
suppose that he was a child of the second wife. A Mary Clinton,
who married at New Haven in 1708, was probably own sister of this
second Lawrence. Between 1718 and 1728 four other Clintons — •
Shubael, Thomas, Joseph, and George — settled at West Haven.
When George had a case in court, the other three went bond for him,
and therefore it is supposed that they were brothers. The belief
that they were sons of Lawrence of Newport rests on the following
considerations: (1) Thomas was baptized at Newport prior to 1709.
(2) Joseph, according to court records, had disappeared from New-
port in 1728, and he first appeared at West Haven in 1726. Thus it
is proved that the West Haven brothers came from Newport. (3)
Lawrence of Newport was Hving as late as 1704, and w^as the only
adult CHnton then at Newport, or, so far as is known, in New Eng-
land. (4) Thomas nanied a son Lawrence. (5) Both the Newport
and the West Haven Clintons were attached to the Church of Eng-
land. But the West Haven Clintons must have been born after the
death of Lawrence's second wife (1691), when he was over fifty years
old. The existence of a third wife must therefore be postulated, and
for the following reasons it is believed that she was Margaret Painter :
(1) It is thought that she was a daughter of Shubael Painter, because
of the names that she gave to her sons. Shubael would be named for
her father, Thomas for her brother, and George for her grandfather,
George Lamberton. Furthermore, a Mercy Clinton was baptized at
Newport in 1711, who would be named for Margaret's mother, Mercy
Lamberton. (2) In 1743 Jeremiah and Margaret Mott of Walling-
ford, Conn., conveyed to George Clinton one fourth of one sixth of
the Lamberton farm. A study of the deeds proves that Margaret
Mott could not have possessed this portion except as child of Shubael
and Mercy (Lamberton) Painter. According to the theory advanced,
this Margaret was either aunt or mother of George Clinton and his
brothers. Now, besides Margaret, Shubael Painter is known to
have had two other children, Thomas and Mercy. According to the
law of inheritance, Thomas would receive one half and each of the
daughters one fourth of the Lamberton estate in possession of their
parents.* Therefore all the surviving children of Shubael and Mercy
Painter are accounted for. Mercy Painter has been traced, and
consequently Margaret is the only daughter of Shubael Painter who
could have been mother of the Clintons. (3) Margaret's last hus-
band, Jeremiah Mott, was on 22 June 1699 admitted an inhabitant
of Westerly, R. I. (town records, vol. 1, p. 23), the very town where
the Painters w^ere early settled. Adam Mott, probably Margaret's
stepson, settled in Wallingford prior to 1717. (4) Both Thomas and
Joseph Clinton bought land in Wallingford, and Thomas lived there
from 1726 to 1728. Their interest in Wallingford is explained if their
mother, Margaret Mott, was living there. (5) Thomas Painter,
brother of Margaret, went from Newport to West Haven before 1694;
and the four Clinton brothers followed him there later, and were
intimate with his family. He too bought land in Wallingford. (6)

Richard Morris of Milford, Conn., agreed in 1742 to support Margaret
wife of Jeremiah Mott. It is a significant fact that Morris came to
Milford from Newport.

54 The Clinton Family of Connecticut [Jan.
first appears in the New Haven records in Nov. 1728, when he
was charged with being the father of the child of Ehzabeth
Painter, for whom see Register, vol. 68, p. 276 (3, vii). He
pleaded not guilty, was found guilty by the court, and ordered
to ''contribute towards the maintenance of child two shillings
and six pence p week from the Birth untill it be two years old,
and thenceforward as this Court shall hereafter order. George
Clinton of New Haven principall and Shuball Clinton and
Joseph Clinton of said New Haven, and Thomas Clinton of
Wallingford, acknowledged themselves bound in a Recogni-
zance of one hundred pounds." George, Shubael, Thomas, and
Joseph Clinton were summoned in Jan. 1729 "to shew Cause why
Judgment should not be Given and Execution awarded against
them for the sum of 100 lb." Three months later they appeared,
and George paid down £13, "whereof £10 :6 :0 was delivered
to Mr. Thomas Panther for the use of his daughter Elis^"
(County Court Records, vol. 3, pp. 270, 284, 287). In July
1744 Isaac, illegitimate son of George Clinton of New Haven,
chose James Miles of Wallingford as his guardian (Probatt;
Records, vol. 6, p. 559). Children by first wife: 1. Obedience,^
b. 25 Mar. 1734 (New Haven records); d. 31 Jan. 1739 (grave-

2. Lawrence^ Clinton (Lawrence^), born about 1679, died at
North Haven in 1757. He married first Mary Brockett,
born 18 May 1674, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Doo-
little) ; and secondly Elizabeth Sanford, born 7 Nov. 1704,
daughter of Thomas and Mary (Chubb). He was in New
Haven as early as 1702, owned land at West Haven, and was
one of the first settlers of North Haven. Clintonville, a
section of the latter town, was named after his family. He
had three persons in his family in 1704 (New Haven Proprie-
tors' Records, vol. 4, pp. 112, 125, 159). He was a communi-
cant of Christ Church (Anglican), Stratford, on 25 Dec.
1724; but his family belonged to the Congregational Church
at North Haven. In his will, dated 21 Sept. 1742 and proved
in 1757, he called himself about 63 years old, mentioned his
children by name, and appointed his friend Capt. John San-
ford and his brother Gershom Barns executors (New Haven
Probate Records, vol. 9, p. 127).

wife Mary, sons Jacob, Noah, Samuel, Solomon, and Paul, and
daughters Sarah, wife of William Munson of Wallingford, and

Haven ; the baptisms of his family appear also in the records
of Christ Church, Stratford.) He enlisted in the French and
Indian War, and was reported dead 5 Oct. 1756. His wife
survived him; but Eliphalet Stevens, husband of his daugh-
ter Elizabeth, was appointed administrator of his estate.
The only item in his inventory was the amount due for service
in the war. (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 9, p. 35.)

married first, at New Haven, 7 Aug. 1718, Hope Downs,
born 11 Mar. 1697/8, died about 1729, daughter of Ebenezer
and Mary (Humphreville) ; and secondly Mary
(probably Downs, sister of his first wife, born 22 Jan.
1701/2). In Nov. 1725 he was charged with ''Resisting the
Constable some time in March last," and was found guilty
(County Court Records, vol. 3, pp. 209, 221). He was a
communicant of the Anglican Church at Stratford 7 Aug.
1726. On 29 Dec. 1726 he bought 85J^ acres in Wallingford
of Benjamin Dutton, and sold this land 26 Mar. 1728, calling
himself ''of Wallingford, blacksmith" (Wallingford Deeds,
vol. 5, pp. 268, 452).

Milford conveyed to their brother Joseph Bryan all their right
to the estate of their father Joseph Bryan (Milford Deeds, vol.
12, p. 147). In Oct. 1746 Samuel Clinton memorialized the
Assembly, alleging that he, "of New Haven," enlisted in His
Majesty's service in the intended expedition against Canada,
and that David Sandford of Milford held from him (who was his
apprentice) £24. 10s. premium for service (Col. Records of Conn.,
vol. 9, p. 254).

5. Joseph^ Clinton (Lawrence^) appears twice in the records of
the Newport Court of Trials (vol. B.), both times as defend-
ant in a suit for recovery:
Mar. 1728. " Daniel Hunt of Rehoboth in the County of Bristol
and Province of Massachusetts Bay, Innholder pltff in an action
of the Case Dam. £6 Joseph Clenton of Newport aforesd Cord-
wainer Deft. The Deft, made Default. Therefore it is considered
by the Court that the sd Daniel recover of the sd Joseph three
pounds & ten pence Debt & Costs of Suit £2. 15. 10."
Since both suits were lost by default, it would seem that
Joseph had left Newport; and a record of Sept. 1728 reads:
''Hunt vs. Clenton. Neither Body nor Estate is to be found by
me. Robert Taylor Const."
Joseph next appears in the records of New Haven, where
we find his marriage and the births of his children. After
that, he disappears entirely. He married, 31 Mar. 1725/6,
Esther Wooding, born 29 Jan. 1702/3, daughter of William
and Jane (Holmes). His last deed in New Haven is dated
19 Nov. 1739 (New Haven Deeds, vol. 12, p. 68). In 1732
he purchased land in Wallingford, but never resided there
(Wallingford Deeds, vol. 6, p. 633, vol. 7, p. 22).

5 ft. 11 in. in height, aged 20 yrs., b. in Boston, laborer, enlisted
17 Apr. 1758 in Queens Co., N. Y. Perhaps he is identical with
the Eliphaz of this genealogy, although the birth of the latter
was recorded, at least, in New Haven. One Peter Clinton
enlisted in the same company.

out of the meeting house the pew of the Tory, Joshua Chand-
ler. He became captain of the militia in 1781, and from
1782 to 1796 was entrusted with the seating of the meeting
house.

15 Apr. 1814. He married at Derby, Conn., about 1760,

daughter of Stephen and Hannah (Munson). Before 1763
he removed to Barkhamsted, and in 1764 to New Milford.
About 1782 he returned to Barkhamsted and about 1807
removed with his son Lyman to Colebrook. There is no direct
proof that this Henry was identical with Henry the son of
Shubael; but the correspondence of name and age makes the
identity practically certain.

64 Parentage of William Arnold and Thomas Arnold [Jan.
THE PARENTAGE OF
WILLIAM ARNOLD AND THOMAS ARNOLD
OF PROVIDENCE, R. I.
By Edson Salisbury Jones, Esq., of Port Chester, N. Y.
It has been generally accepted that William^ Arnold of Hingham,
Mass., who went to Rhode Island with Roger Williams and became
an inhabitant of Providence, and Thomas^ Arnold of Watertown,
Mass., who removed to Providence some twenty years later, were
half brothers; but the present writer and several other Arnold de-
scendants have sought in vain for proof of this relationship. There
is in existence a copy of a chart, made in 1819, which represents
these two immigrants as thus related; but it is highly probable that
the connection was deduced and assumed from some early records of
the Arnold family, the first section of which was evidently prepared
by William^ and the remainder by his descendants, because the chart
repeats information given in those records. The records in question
were printed in the Register, vol. 33, pp. 427-432 (Oct. 1879).
About 1842 there was compiled a genealogy of the descendants of
Thomas^ Arnold (William^ and his children were also mentioned),
the opening portion of which seems certainly to have been derived
from this chart, and the name of Thomas, as the father of the immi-
grants, was prefixed.* William,^ in the record which he prepared,
did not name his father. In the *' History of Woonsocket," 1876,
there is also a genealogy of the descendants of Thomas,^ who is
represented as a son of William.^ In the ''Life of Benedict Arnold/'
1880, the birthplace of William^ is given as Leamington, England.
No county is named, but there is a well-known watering place called
Leamington in Warwickshire. Savage thought that perhaps Bene-
dict^ (William^) was born in co. Nottingham.
In the Register, vol. 33, pp. 432-438, immediately after the article
entitled ''Early Records of the Arnold Family," was printed "Mr.
Somerby's Genealogy of the Arnold Family," a pedigree compiled
by the late Horatio G. Somerby, in which the descent of our two
immigrants is derived from Ynir, King of Gwentland, a Welsh prince
who flourished about the middle of the twelfth century. This pedi-
gree was taken, with some changes and additions, from the following
sources :
From the so-called Ynir^ to Roger,^^ inclusive, it was obtained from
the Visitation of Monmouthshire. The present writer examined
this Visitation in the College of Arms, and knows that (besides dif-
* It is nearly certain that the name of Thomas, as the father, was derived from an
obituary notice of Stephen* (born in 1728, died at Smithfield, R. I., 2 May 1796), which
appeared in the Providence Gazette of 7 May 1796. Therein it was said that Stephen
"descended from Thomas Arnold, a native of England, whose son Thomas was one
of the first adventurers that came to this country, and settled in the then Colony of
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." The composer of this notice was not
aware, seemingly, that Thomas^ was at Watertown, Mass., in 1636, and continued
there for about twenty years. The present writer knows that Thomas, as father of
the immigrants, was named in information given to Mr. Somerby as a basis for hia
research.

ferences in the spelling of some names) one generation — the true
eleventh — was omitted by Mr. Somerby. As a visual aid to a clear
understanding of conditions, a section of the Visitation pedigree is
presented, the first generation given being the one neglected by the
American compiler.

John Thomas Joan Agnes Ahce Margaret
It will be noted that Arnhalt ap Arnalht Vychan, Esq., had wife
Joan, daughter and coheiress to Madoc ap Thomas ap Rhun; and
that to their son Roger Arnalhd, Esq., was assigned no issue. Mr.
Somerby said that this Roger was "the first of the family who
adopted a surname;'^ but it will be seen that the said Roger had an
uncle Richard Arnold; and in the pedigree presented below Roger's
father appears as an Arnold.
A son for Roger was obtained from a Visitation of Gloucester-
shire, the first four generations of which are here reproduced.
Arnold of = Sibbell, d. of Madoc ap Enion ap Thomas
Roger Arnold = , d. of Gamage
Thomas Arnold of = Agnes, d. of Ric. Warnested
in com. Gloster | __^
( I
John Arnold of = Isabell, d. of Hawkins Eleanor ux Sir John
Wriothesley
In the Somerby pedigree, Joan as the mother of Roger was dis-
carded, and Sybil was adopted. In the pedigree given immediately
above, the only grandson of Roger is John. Mr. Somerby supplied
another grandson, naming him Richard Arnold of Street, with wife
Emmote, daughter and heir of Pearce Young of Damerham in Wilt-
shire. Turning to the section of the pedigree from the Visitation of
Monmouthshire, it will be seen that this man was uncle of Roger.
There can be no question as to identity, for Mr. Somerby transferred
(in his original volume) this Richard and all his shown descendants
to places three generations lower down, and made Richard the grand-
son of Roger. He also located the father of his Richard^* in Llan-
66 Parentage of William Arnold and Thomas Arnold [Jan.
thony, CO. Monmouth, whereas the Visitation of Gloucestershire
placed him in the latter county. The Monmouthshire pedigree does
not state in what county Street was situated; but Somerset was
adopted, although there are parishes of the name in Devon and
Sussex, and a Street hundred in co. Kent (where there were Arnolds
by 1460). The extant parish registers of Street, co. Somerset, 1599-
1762, have been printed, but there are but few items for the first iBve
years and then a gap, 1604-1635. The index discloses no Arnold j
earlier than 1745. No will of an Arnold of Street is known to the
writer, nor has any will of a Somersetshire Arnold, prior to 1553, been
found in the calendars of district probate registries and of the Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury. There are wills of Gloucestershire
Arnolds from 1544, of Arnolds of co. Sussex from 1536, and of Arnolds
of CO. Surrey from 1482.
The Heralds' Visitations do not give to Richard Arnold of Street
any other sons than John and Thomas; but Mr. Somerby furnished
the father with an eldest son and heir, Richard, ^^ who ''removed into ''
Dorsetshire and became seated at Bagbere," although he gave no
evidence in support of this statement. This Richard of Bagbere
left a will, dated 15 May 1593 (the earliest will found by Mr. Somer-
by of any person in the ancestral line presented by him), which gave
£50 to a son Thomas, whose residence is not stated. This Thomas
was placed in Cheselbourne, co. Dorset, and made the father of the
immigrants, William^ and Thomas^ Arnold; but here again no proof
is given, nor any evidence that said Thomas of Cheselbourne had any
issue whatsoever.
The present writer had in his possession, for six weeks, the original
volume prepared by Mr. Somerby for his client, as well as all Arnold
data that could be found' in all his English search books known to be
extant (more than one hundred). In the whole no proof is found
that Richard of Bagbere was grandfather of William* or Thomas,*
or that either was a son of Thomas of Cheselbourne. The nearest
semblance of proof was in items that a William Arnold was made
administrator of his brother John of Cheselbourne and guardian of
the latter's children in 1616; and that one of these children referred,
in the time of the Commonwealth, to ''his uncle in foreign parts."
Examining the record prepared by William,* it will be seen that he
mentioned no brother John.
The key to the true parentage of William* Arnold lay in that por-
tion of the family record prepared by him, the first two items of
which are as follows:
Alee Gully the Daughter of John Gully of Northouer. Who was my
Mother, was Baptized ye 29: Septem 1553.
Tamzen, my Sister was Baptized the 4° of Jany. 1571.
Mr. Somerby located Northover near Cheselbourne, co. Dorset;
but no English gazetteer or map seen discloses such a place — not
even the ordnance survey map of that locality on a scale of six inches
to the mile. In the whole of England there is but one parish of North-
over, and that is in co. Somerset. Thither the present writer went in
the summer of 1902 and examined the original register, in which were
found the following baptismal records:
1915] Parentage of William Arnold and Thomas Arnold 67
Alice Gullye the Daughter of John Gullye 29° Septembris a° dm 1553°.
Tomsine the Daughter of Nicholas Arnolde 4° Januarij a° dm 1571°
It will be observed that the names and dates of the baptized persons
agree with the family record of William Arnold, and that the father
of Tomsine was Nicholas — not Thomas. No other Arnold baptism
is found in this register in early days. The only Arnold marriages,
prior to 1643, were those of Margarett to Christopher Tuck in 1585
and Margery to Thomas Burnard in 1603. Records of Gullye
burials were seen, among them those of John in 1559, Alice, wife of
John, in 1583, and another John in 1591. No Arnold burials were
found prior to 1700.
Adjoining Northover on the south is the parish of Ilchester, the
earliest extant register of which, unfortunately, does not begin until
1690; and directly on the east is the parish of Limington,* the extant
register of which begins in 1681. About five miles westerly from
Northover and Ilchester is the parish of Muchehiey, where resided
Thomas Peak, father-in-law of William^ Arnold, according to the
family record. The extant register of this parish does not begin
until 1703. Here we have proof that the home of the father of
William^ was in co. Somerset — not co. Dorset.
In his section of the family record, William^ named the children of
two sisters, some of the children of his half brother Thomas, and the
births of his own issue. Among the first was Thomas Hopkins,
baptized 7 Apr. 1616; and in the last group was Steven Arnold, born
22 Dec. 1622.
Among the Bishop^s transcripts in the Diocesan Registry of Bath
and Wells, the writer found the following from the parish of Ilchester:
Thomas the sonne of W°^ Hopkins bapt: seaventh of Aprill, 1616.
Stephanus filius Williami Arnolde baptizat vicessimo sexto die Decem-
bris, 1622.
Nichalaus Arnolde sepultus vicessimo sexto Januarij, 1622.
The name and baptismal date of the Hopkins child agree with the
family record, and the baptism of Stephen Arnold was four days later
than the birth date of Stephen^ (William^) in the said record. As
will soon appear, the Nicholas Arnold who was buried 26 Jan. 1622
was the father of William. ^ In the same registry was also found an
original return from Ilchester parish, in 1622, signed by John Ravens,
rector, and Melchesadeck Jones and William Arnold, churchwardens.!
The signature of the last-named closely resembles that of William^
in 1650 and 1659, except for the first and last letters. From this
registry was also obtained (at second hand) the following items from
Ilchester parish:
1595, Oct. 5 Robert Hacker & Thomasine Arnoll married.
1595, Agnes, dau. of Nicholas Arnoll, buried.
1596, Apr. 12 Isabell Arnoll baptized.
1596, Apr. 25 AHce, wife of Nicholas Arnoll, tailer, buried.
1596, Nov, 15 Nicholas Arnoll baptized.
1635, Oct. 15 George, son of Thomas & Jane Arnold, baptized.
* The will of Gov. Benedict^ Arnold (William^ mentions his "Lemmington Farm,"
which was very probably named in remembrance of this parish.
t In Samuel Gorton's "Simplicity's Defence" we read that William^ "Arnold was a
great professor of religion in the West of Old England."
VOL. LXIX. 5
68 Parentage of William Arnold and Thomas Arnold [Jan.
The first of these items was evidently the marriage of William^
Arnold's sister, and the fom'th was the burial of his mother.
In the District Probate Registry of Wells the writer found a will
of which the following is an abstract :
The Will of Nicholas Arnold of Ilchester in the Countie of Somersett
Tayler, 18 Jan. 1622 [1622/3]. To Grace Arnold my wief all my goods
movable and unmovable w'thin and wth thout Dores to thintent she shall
guid & bringe up my two youngest Daughters her Children and when it shall
please god to take her out of this mortal! lief to Dispose the said goods at her
pleasure unto theis two Children. Grace my wief to be sole executrix.
My Sonne W^°^ Arnold & Ambrose Chappell my frend to be over seers.
Witnesses: John Raven, Thomas Arnold. Proved at Wells 28 July 1623.
Inventory, £7. 16s. 5d. (WeUs Registry, Hb. 43, fo. 5.)
This will makes it clear that Grace was not the first wife of the
testator: and the family record shows that the father of William^
had been twice married, that Thomas was a son by the second wife,
and that this Thomas had a son Nicholas, who was baptized in 1627.
No real evidence has been seen that this Thomas emigrated to
America.
In the Probate Registry of Wells as thorough search as circum-
stances permitted was made; but no Arnold will was found which
disclosed a son Nicholas, nor any Gully will that named a John who
might be father of Alice. In such search as could be made in the
Probate Registry of Taunton nothing was discovered to aid in ex-
tending the ancestry of William^ Arnold. Deeper investigations
are needed.
Nicholas Arnold of Ilchester, tailor, the testator of 1622/3, seem-
ingly was not the only one of the name in that region, as in Martock
parish, four miles west-southwest of Ilchester, a Nicholas Arnold and
Margaret Pound were married, 6 Oct. 1570. Here also were baptized
Nicholas, son of Thomas, in 1604, William, son of George, in 1605,
and others. In this parish are recorded marriages of John Gully in
1561 and 1603. A John Gully was married in 1556, and a Johanna
Arnell in 1563, in Kingsdon parish, two miles north of Ilchester,
where also Robert Arnold was churchwarden in 1594 and Thomas
Arnold in 1611. Thomas Arnolde was married in 1572 and Mary
Arnald in 1578, in Yeovil, five miles south of Ilchester. Henry
Arnold married in 1562, in Taunton.
In the Register, vol. 48, pp. 374-375, was printed an abstract of
the will of Richard Arnold of London, goldsmith, dated 8 Nov. 1644,
which was reprinted in Waters's ''Genealogical Gleanings in Eng-
land," pp. 882-883. This testator was born at Gillingham, co. Kent,
and his will names, among others, his uncles Richard and William
Arnold, both deceased; the former's son Richard of Killingworth [an
old name for Kenilworth], co. Warwick; and the latter's son Richard
of Kelshall [Kelsale], co. Suffolk, the last two to pay 20s. ''unto every
of their brothers and sisters . . . except Thomas Arnold who is
now supposed to be in New England or some other part beyond
the seas/' his legacy to be paid upon his demand or that of his as-
signs. The only Thomas Arnold known to have been in New Eng-
land in 1644 was Thomas^ of Watertown; and it seems very probable
that he was the legatee named.
1915] Parentage of William Arnold and Thomas Arnold 69
It will be noted that the specifically mentioned son of the testator^s
uncle Richard was of Killingworth, Warwick. Six miles southeast
from this place is the parish of Offchurch. The will of Richard
Arnold of Offchurch, husbandman, names, among others, his mother
Margaret Arnold, wife Alice, sons Thomas, John, and Richard,
and daughters EHzabeth and Mary — all the children under age on
2 July 1604, the date of the will, which was proved 3 Aug. 1604.
The specifically named son of the London goldsmith's uncle William
was of Kelsale, Suffolk, a parish about twenty miles northeast from
Ipswich. Thirteen miles southerly from Kelsale and twelve miles
east of Ipswich is the parish of Hollesley. The will of William
Arnold of Hollesley, husbandman, dated 22 Nov. 1616 and proved
24 Feb. 1616/17, names wife Katherine, sons Richard and Thomas
(both under age), daughters Cleere and Katherine, and nephew
Richard Arnold. Here, then, are two Thomas Arnolds who are in
harmony with the London goldsmith's will, as well as with the prob-
able age of our Thomas^ at the respective times; but there is a
speculative preference for the Thomas of co. Suffolk, as there seems
to be a possibility that Thomas^ Arnold married Phebe Parkhurst
before he emigrated, and her father, George^ Parkhurst, was a resi-
dent of Ipswich, CO. Suffolk, where his daughter Phebe^ was baptized
29 Nov. 1612.*
There were Arnold testators in co. Suffolk from the middle of the
fifteenth century, who were largely resident in the easterly half of
the shire. The earliest wills of such, yet seen, were those of Robert
of Framlingham and John of Ej^e, respectively fourteen and eighteen
miles northerly from Ipswich. By the year 1650 at least sixty-five
wills of Arnolds of this county had been proved in various courts,
twenty of which were of testators within a radius of twelve miles
from Ipswich.
Thomas^ Arnold was of Watertown, Mass., as early as 25 July
1636, when he had a grant of thirty acres from the town. The
earliest date at which Watertown records disclose George^ Parkhurst
was 10 May 1642, when he received land. The present writer
questions the statement that Thomas^ Arnold, aet. 30, embarked for
Virginia in the Plain Joan, in 1635. He died at Providence, R. I.,
in Sept. 1674, but a.t no time is his age of public record. His first
child whose birth was recorded in America was Ichabod, who was
born 1 Mar. 1640 (Watertown records) ; but the father had had an
earlier child, Susanna, who married in Boston, 7 Apr. 1654, John
Farnum. If she were then twenty years old, she was born two years
prior to her father's recorded appearance in Watertown. The later
children of Thomas^ were Richard, Thomas, John, Eliezer, and
Elizabeth.
Herein have been presented the true name and residence of the
father of William^ Arnold; but the parentage of Thomas^^ is as yet
uncertain. The writer hopes that the information furnished will
stimulate further investigations.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
By John Albree, Recording Secretary
Boston, Massachusetts, 6 May 1914- A stated meeting of the Society was held
in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 p.m., President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the April meeting were approved, and the reports of the Coun-
cil, Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
Nineteen resident members were elected by ballot.
Rev. Frank Melville Kerr, D.D., of Hempstead, N. Y., spoke on Abraham
Lincoln, using stereopticon views of subjects to which reference was made. He
outlined Lincoln's career, dwelling especially on his personal characteristics as
illustrating the beauty of his patriotism and the sublimity of his manhood.
President Baxter spoke of the persistence of the names of Mordecai and Abra-
ham in the Lincoln families.
On motion of Mr. Scott a vote of thanks was extended to Dr. Kerr.
7 October. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-
burton Place, at 2.30 p.m. In the absence of President Baxter, John Can-oil
Chase, Vice-President for New Hampshire, presided.
The minutes of the May meeting wer'e approved, and the reports of the Council,
Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
Forty resident members were elected by ballot.
On motion of Henry Edwards Scott the following minute was adopted by a
rising vote:
Voted, That the New England Historic Genealogical Society hereby expresses its
appreciation of the great loss that it has sustained in the death of William Sanford
Hills, a tj^pical New England gentleman, a member of the Council, a practical geneal-
ogist, and a generous friend of genealogical research. He was one of the largest con-
tributors to the building-fund which made possible the erection of the present home of
the Society, and his interest in the work of the Society never flagged, in spite of the
grievous physical affliction which darkened the later years of his life.
The paper of the afternoon was by John Ritchie, Jr., President of the Boston
Scientific Society, on N^ooks and Corners of the Old Bay State. In describing the
part of Massachusetts west of the Connecticut River the speaker told of his
experiences while studying the geology of the region as well as in arranging outings
for the Appalachian Mountain Club in the small hill towns, when he had to travel
by obscure stage routes and had to go into places remote from railroads. The
lantern slides, many of which were from his own camera, showed the beauty and
grandeur of the scenery among the hills and the valleys.
4 November. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-
burton Place, at 2.30 p.m., Vice-President Rust presiding.
The minutes of the October meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Council, Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
The report of the Committee on Heraldry, submitted to the Council 6 May and
by vote of the Council on 7 October printed and sent to members with the notice
tor this meeting of the Society, was on motion of John Albree accepted, and the
recommendations contained in this report were adopted, as follows:
We recommend that every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in
making it a matter of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat
of arms or that any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to
offer the arms for record with this Society, together with the evidence relied on to prove
such inheritance or grant, and that all coats proved to the satisfaction of a competent
committee, either by proof which is absolutely conclusive or by proof which when
weighed and tested in the spirit we have indicated affords good prima facie evidence,
be accepted by the Society for record.
We further recommend that the Society provide and keep books or other suitable
means for recording the arms so accepted; that every coat accepted by the Society be
accurately painted, tricked, or described; that when the arms are hereditary the
pedigree of the settler, so far as it is well authenticated, be recorded with the arms, or
that in lieu of such pedigree references be given to printed books or other accessible
records in which an authentic pedigree may be found; and that an abstract of the
evidence showing an hereditary right, with references to records, documents, monu-
ments, etc., be made a part of the record.
88 Notes [Jan.
We further recommend that a card index to the arms ao recorded be kept, so that
each coat and the character of the evidence on which it was accepted may easily be
found; that fees barely sufficient to cover the cost of making and keeping the records
and the index be charged; and that those who wish to furnish for the records suitable
paintings, engravings, drawings, or photographs of arms which have been accepted be
permitted to do so at their own expense.
When a coat of arms is accepted for record, we recommend that the name and address
of the person, or the names and addresses of the persons, who offer it be noted in the
record, but that all pedigrees showing descent from original settlers or grantees be
excluded. It is not intended that any committee in charge of these records should be
burdened with the duty of passing on the authenticity of the pedigrees of persons
claiming such descent.
By ballot the following were elected members of the Nominating Committee:
liawrence Brainerd, Mrs. Florence C. Howes, Edmund I. Leeds,. Mrs. Mary S.
Ra-ndall, W^alter K. Watkins.
Hon. Curtis Guild of Boston spoke on The Flags of the World and their History.
During his administration as Governor of Massachusetts he became interested
in the representation of the State seal, with the result that it was redi-awn and is
now established by law. It w^as, he said, during the study of this subject that he
was led to the study of flags; and in the address of the afternoon he told the
history as well as the romance of the evolution of flags, not only those of the
United States and of Massachusetts but also those of many other nations. The
many silk flags shown were from the large collection that the speaker has made.
NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in Eng-
land the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her
time as a searcher of records there along special lines for the
benefit of the Register.
Fitch. — In Register, vol. 57, pp. 415-416, the writer contributed some
information found in the registers of St. Albans Abbey, Hertfordshu'e, Eng., that
located the English home of Zachary Fitch, who came to New England, evidently
in the spring of 1638. In Register, vol. 63, pp. 162-164, Miss Elizabeth French
furnished abstracts of several wills pertaining to this fainily.

County of New Haven in Connecticet is eldest lawf all son of said Peter Tallman.
17 March 1702/3.
Since finding the deposition given above I have received through the courtesy
of my friend E. G. Sinckler, Esq., of Barbados, the following item from the
registers of Christ Church Parish, Barbados: " married January 2, 1649 Peter
Tolman and Ann Hill."
Newport, R. I. G. Andrews Moriarty, Jr.
Eames: Additions. — The following statements supply additional information
for the article entitled '* Robert Eames of Woburn, Mass., and some of his De-
scendants," which was communicated by the writer to the Register, vol. 62,
pp. 58-65, 160-157. In each case the pedigree number of the person concerning
whom statements are made and the number of the page in vol. 62 of the Register
on which that person's record is given have been inserted.
The will of Robert^ Eames (1, p. 58) of Woburn, Mass., dated 30 Oct. 1699 and
apparently not proved, names wife Elizabeth, sons Samuel, John, and Joseph, and
daughters Elizabeth Eames, Mary Cousens, Priscilla Polly, and Abigail Barrett.
This will shows that Joseph Eames who married, 20 May 1697, Mary Everett of
Reading was son of Robert,^ and that Robert's daughter Abigail Wesson or Weston
married secondly, 26 June 1696, Jonathan Barrett.
SamueP Eames (2, p. 59) married, 6 Jan. 1689/90, Mary Death of Sherborn,
daughter of Ensign John of Topsfield, Sherborn, and Framingham. Their
daughter Hephzibah (2, v, p. 59) married, 3 Feb. 1732/3, Joseph East of Dracut.
The Mary Eames who married at Woburn, 17 Mar. 1714, Jonathan Smith of
Exeter was also a daughter of Samuel^ and Mary.
Joshua^ Eames (5, p. 60) married Hannah Scales of Wilmington, daughter of
James and Sarah (Curtis).
Daniel* Eames (9, p. 62) married, 10 June 1755, Sarah Hay of Stoneham,
daughter of Capt. Peter.
Woburn, Mass. Arthur Greene Loring.

Collins. — Joseph Collins, St., of Eastham, married, 20 Mar. 1671/2, Ruth
Knowles {Mayflower Descendant, vol. 3, p. 229), and the said Ruth died at East-
ham 28 Aug. 1714 {ih., vol. 6, p. 204). The will of Joseph Collins, dated 9 Aug.
1723 and proved 25 Feb. 1723/4, discloses the fact that he had a second wife
named Sarah (Barnstable Probate Records, vol. 4, p. 171). That this Sarah had
been previously married to Christopher Strout is proved by records showing that
the estate of Christopher Strout of Provincetown w^as administered by his widow,
Sarah, 9 July 1715, and referring to her, 25 Oct. 1716, as "Sarah CoUens Late
Sarah Strought Administratrix to y© Estate of Christopher Strought Late of Cape
Cod In sd County [Barnstable Co.] now Deceased and Now Wife of Joseph Col-
lens of Eastham In ye County of Barnstable" {ih., vol. 3, p. 245).
12 Pearl Street, Boston, Mass. Anna Chandler Kingsbury.
Sebray Lawton's Bible Record. — The following was copied from the Bible
of Sebray Lawton of Rehobcth, Mass., by his son-in-law, Godfrey Wheelock of
Attleborough, Mass. The copy was made about 1855, and the Bible has since
disappeared. Two children, Thomas Lawton, born 1814, died 3 Aug. 1814, aged
3 months, and Thomas Lawton, 2d, died 13 July 1824, aged 8 years, are not
recorded in the Bible. The children were all born in Rehoboth; and six of the
children with their parents were buried in the village cemetery of Rehoboth.

ENGLISH RESEAECH — STANDISH
The Committee on English Research calls special attention
to the important article in the Register for October, 1914,
jn the ancestry of Capt. Myles Standish. This article, which
was secured for the Register at a considerable expense, indicates
bertain lines along which further researches for the parentage of
Capt. Standish may be made with a fair prospect of success. The
iiuthor of the article has offered to carry on investigations in this
promising field, without compensation for his time, if his expenses
incurred in this additional work are guaranteed. The Committee
jsolicits special contributions for the Standish research.
Additional funds are also needed immediately for the con-
jtinuance of the general English Research work, which has been
arried on so successfully by Miss Elizabeth French for the past
six years. The importance of these researches, begun for the
Society many years ago by the late Henry FitzGilbert Waters,
Esq., will be evident to all ; but unless further subscriptions are
received without delay, suspension of the work will be inevitable.
Members of the Society, whether subscribers to the fund for
! English Research or not, may obtain, by applying at the offices
oi the Society, 9 Ashburton Place, Boston, blank forms for record-
ing facts about the early settlers of New England in whose English
ancestry they are interested. This information will be filed, and
a copy will be sent to Miss French; but the Committee cannot
guarantee that it will be practicable to follow up any particular
clue.
Subscriptions, both for the special Standish fund and for the
general English Research fund, may be sent to
Charles S. Penhallow, Chairman,
803 Sears Building, Boston, Mass.
LYDIA HOW.— Ten Zio^^ar."? will be paid to the first person furnishing authonfic
information as to the parentan;e of Lydia How, who, according to Marlborouuh (Mass.)
Vital Records, married, 17 Sept. 1755, Abraham How, Jr. Hudson's Marlborough,
p. 395, is in error about her parentage.

THOMAS MINNS
By Henry Herbert Edes, A.M., of Cambridge, Mass.
Thomas Minns was born 5 December 1833 in the city of New
York, where for a few years his father was engaged in mercantile
pursuits. He was the only son of Constant Freeman and Frances
Ann (Parker) Minns, who were married in Boston, by the Rev. Ezra
Stiles Gannett, 18 June 1825. On his mother's side Mr. Minns was
descended from the Hancocks, his grandmother Parker having been
Frances Hancock, the wife of Nathaniel Parker, to whom she was
married in Boston, 18 January 1803, by the Rev. John Eliot. He
also was descended from the Rev. John Wilson, the first minister of
the First Church in Boston, and other Puritan divines, from whom,
doubtless, he inherited many of those sterling qualities which were
prominent in his strong and lovable character.
Not long after Mr. Minns's birth his parents returned to Massa-
chusetts, and took up their residence in the town of Lincoln, where
both his sisters were born and where the family resided for many
years before removing to Boston, which was ever after their per-
manent place of abode.
Mr. Minns was educated at private schools in Boston, Concord,
and Bolton, and later at the English High School in Boston, where
he took many of the prizes and was awarded a Franklin Medal.
Among Mr. Minus's acquaintances at the beginning of his mer-
cantile life was the late Rev. Dr. Alexander McKenzic, who, for a
few years, was in business before entering the clerical profession.
Of this association Dr. McKenzie wrote, not long befoie his own
death:
"My acquaintance with Mr. Minns began when we were boys, or young
men, together in the ernjjloy of Lawrence, Stone & Co. in Boston. They
were the agents of the Middlesex Mills in Lowell, and the Bay State Mills in
La^Tence, Massachusetts, and they had also the general care of the afTairs
at the nnills, under the Directors." The business was large and had much
variety, and it offered a good position to a youth who wished to be prepared
for a business career. The heads of the firm were men of hif^h standing, and
they were considerate of all who were in their service. I douht if thrn; wa.s
any place of its kind which was more pleasant. The head of the cirri cal
force, Mr. Thomas F. Holden, was an elderly man and an admirable teacher,
skilful and orderly, and always ready with instruction and admonition.
VOL. LXIX. 7
100 Thomas Minns [April
Thomas Minns was a j^outh of fine appearance, of genial disposition, always
ready and willing. His most marked trait was his alertness. He could
make his way to State Street and back quicker than anyone else. His mind
was equally alert. He was always wide-awake, and determined that no ont
should take an undue advantage of him. It was among his duties to buy th6
small things which were needed at the mills, and in this he was exact anc
shrewd. No one could take advantage of his j'outh. He had the making
of a prosperous merchant and a large-minded man. This he has proved tc
be. I have seen little of him since we left Milk Street, as our paths hav(
seldom crossed. But I have kno^^^l of his influence, and the confidence witt
which large trusts were placed in his hands. He was well born and wel
trained, and he gave a generous mind to his work. He merited the higb
position to which he attained. ... I recall the bright boy, the pleasant
companion, the enterprising clerk. I knew him when he had himself in the
making and his life was a promise and prophecy. His character was earh
formed and steadily maintained. . . I still see the boy in the man, and I aic
richer for his friendship."
Mr. Minns was subsequently bookkeeper for a short time in the
house of S. Frothingham, Jr., & Company and then became a com-
mission riT-ci'chant upon his own account, having a mill at Lee, Mass.,
in w^hich he was very successful. He retired in 1870. Later he held
the treasurership of the Bartlett Mills at Newbury port, Mass., and
brought the property up from the bad condition in which he found it
to a state of great prosperity. He was, for a short time, treasurer oi
the Everett Mills. He also served many corporations and societies
as an unpaid auditor. Mr. Minns was largely interested, financially,
in railroad enterprises, especially in the Union Pacific Railroad, the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, the Oregon Short Line,
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company.
Although he never crossed the ocean, Mr. Minns was fond of
travel, and saw much of his native country. He made two trips to
the Pacific Coast, visiting California and Oregon, and other trips to
Colorado and the Yellowstone Park, in the Far West, and to many
other parts of this continent.
Among the many trusts imposed upon Mr. Minns the most im-
portant, perhaps, was his executorship of the wdll of Robert Charles
Billings, in association with Messrs. Matthew Luce and Joseph S.
Kendall. These gentlemen were charged with the distribution to
charitable institutions of the bulk of Mr. Billings's great fortune,
amounting to more than tw^o millions of dollars, and performed their
delicate and important duties with fidelity and sound judgment, their
action being confirmed by a decree of the Supreme Judicial Court of
the Commonwealth. In the distribution of that estate this Society
shared to the extent of ten thousand dollars, two permanent funds
of five thousand dollars each being created, the income of one fund
to be used for the purchase of books, and the income of the other to
be used for the general purposes of the Society.
Mr. Minns was elected a resident member of this Society 6 Decem-
ber 1871, and became a life member in 1885. He served on the
Committee on the Library and on the Committee on Finance, and
only a few months before his death he was appointed a member of
the important Special Executive, Finance, and Building Committee
for the year 1913.
1915] The Byles Famihj 101
Mr. Minns was in fellowship with many other societies and or-
ganizations, and often in their boards of government. Among them
may be mentioned the Bostonian Society, of which he was a founder,
The Colonial Society of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Historical
Society, the Bunker Hill Monument Association, and the Young
Men's Christian Union of Boston. He was also a devout parishioner
of the First Church in Boston, and, later, of King's Chapel. His
death occurred 28 October 1913, in the eightieth year of his age, at
his summer home in Princeton, Mass.
OLD BOSTON FAMILIES
Number Four
THE BYLES FAMILY
By Rev. Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton, D.C.L., of Boatoa, Mass.
1. JosiAS^ Byles, saddler, the founder of a family of unique
interest in the annals of Boston,* came from Winchester, Hants,
England, where probably he was born about 1656, to Boston, where
he died 17 Mar. 1707/8, aged, according to his epitaph in the Gran-
ary Burying Ground, ''about 52. "f With his wife Sarah and prob-
ably two children, he reached Boston, perhaps in 1693 or in the
early part of 1694, settling, probably immediately after his arrival,
in the north part of the town.t As early as 1697 he served on a
petit jury; and on 11 Apr. 1698 he served with sixteen other men on
a jury of inquisition on the body of William Holden, his signature to
the return of the jury being the finest of the whole seventeen (Suf-
folk Court Records, MS.). In 1699 he was constable, and on
12 Mar. 1704/5 he was elected a tithingman for the ensuing year.
When Josias Byles's son Mather was born, 15 Mar. 1706/7, the
family, according to Drake, was living in what is now Tileston
Street; but whether or not they had lived there from the time of
* There waij a Biles or Byles family at Beverly, Mass., founded by Jonathan Byles,
as early as 1681; but no relationship is known to have existed between Jonathan of
Beverly and Josias of Boston. (Cf. Vital Records of Beverly; Essex hint. Hist.
Coll,, vols. 35-41; Essex Antiquarian, vol. 8, pp. 120-122; Babson's Hi.st. of Gloucf^s-
tor, Mass., p. 60.) For an important Biles family of Pennsylvania see Pennsylvania
Magazine of History, vol. 26, pp. 58-70, 192-206, 348-350.
t" Midweek, March, 17, 170J. my Country-man Mr. Josiah Byles, dyed very
suddenly." (Sewall's Diary, 5 Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., vol. 6, p. 220.)
X According U) the Boston town records John Byles, a brother of Josias, was allowed,
25 May 1702, to reside in Boston, Josias becoming surety for him; but our knowi^'dgp
of this man and his family is scanty. Pie had a wife FAiza\>oth, who diod 7 Sept. 1710,
and his children, born in Boston, were: 1. John (probably the eldest child), whf> mar-
ried, 4 Dec. 1729, Rev. Elisha Callender, minister of the Fir.st Baptist ('hurch, officiat-
insj, Elizabeth Bond, who died 18 June 1730, in her 21st year, and was buried in the
Granary Burying Ground. 2. Sutton (called "Stutson" in the town record of his
birth), who was born 15 Nov. 1703, a saddler, one of the original subscribers to the
Hollis Street Church, of which his cousin, Mather Bylos. was the first pastor. He
probably died a bachelor, for by his will, dated 2 Fob. 1773 and proved 2 Sept. 1776,
he left his property chiefly to his sister Mary Snow and her children and to the children
of his sister Elizabeth Houghton, deceased, his cousin Mather Byles receiving a legacy
of £6. 133. 4d. 3. Elizal)eth, who was born 2 Feb. 1705 (? 1705/6] and was married.
15 Aug. 1734, to Richard Houghton. 4. Mary, who was married, 27 Juno 1734, by
Rev. Mather Bylea, to Jeremiah Snow.
102 Old Boston Families [April
the coming of Josias from England is unknown. Regarding the
circumstances of the family, it is significant that no conveyance of
property to Josias or from Josias is on record. That however good
his business as a saddler in Boston may have been, it yielded little
more than a living for the family, is shown by the cramped circum-
stances in which Josias left his third wife.*
Josias Byles marriedf first, in England, Sarah Auber, who emi-
grated to Boston with her husband and died probably soon after the
birth of her youngest child, 7 Oct. 1699; secondly, in Boston, Sarah
Davis, who was born 11 Sept. 1661 and died 12 Mar. 1702/3,
probably daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Thayer); and thirdly,
6 Oct. 1703, Rev. Dr. Increase Mather officiating,! Elizabeth
(Mather) Greenough, who was born 6 Jan. 1665/6 and died
probably early in 1745, being buried in Tomb No. 2 in the Granary
Burying Ground, second daughter of Rev. Dr. Increase and Maria
(Cotton) and widow of William of Boston. §
In his will, dated 29 June 1704 and proved 8 Apr. 1708, Josias
Byles mentions his wife Elizabeth, his eldest son Josias, saddler, his
son Thomas, under age, ''who is apprentice with Mr. Man, Brazier,"
and his youngest children, Sarah and Samuel, who were clearly the
only living children of his second wife, Sarah (Davis). He remem-
bers also his honoured mother, Dorothy Byles, in Winchester, Eng-
land, his sister, Dorothy Jeffrys, and his brother, John Byles. To the
last three he leaves a gold ring apiece. He charges his son Josias to
yield to his stepmother all reasonable and needful help and assistance
in the management of the family; and he hopes that he and his other
children will ''carry towards her with all dutifull respectfulness."
If after his decease his wife shall see fit to continue the saddlery, he
desires that his son Josias shall yield her all reasonable and needful
help and assistance in the business. All that he leaves to his two
young children, Sarah and Samuel, he puts under his wife's control,
she having "already expressed and manifested abundant of motherly
affection and tenderness towards them, even as much in a manner as
if they had been her own." His Indian boy, Winchester, he leaves
to his youngest son, Samuel. He appoints his wife sole executrix.
His youngest child, Mather, was not born until after his father's will
was made; and therefore on 6 May 1712 authority was given to his
mother to ask, demand, sue for, recover, receive, and take into cus-
tody all and singular such part or portion of his father's estate as
should appertain to him. Mrs. Byles probably spent her last days
in her son's house in Nassau Street. In the record of admissions to

Rev. Increase Mather, then by her daughter Elizabeth, third wife of Josias Bj^les, and

t At this time the venerable pastor of the Old North Church was in the fortieth
year of his pastorate, his son Cotton having been his colleague for between eighteen
and nineteen years; and the Mathers were no doubt well acquainted with Josias Byles,
the latter having joined the "Mather Church" on 11 Oct. 1696.

3. Rev. Mather^ Byles, D.D. (Josias^), born in Boston (probably
on Tileston Street) 15 Mar. and baptized 16 Mar. 1706/7,
died in Boston 5 July 1788. A brilliant prose writer and
preacher, a poet of considerable note, the most celebrated
humorist of Boston in his day, and a dominating personality
in the town before and at the time of the Revolution, he is one
of the most conspicuous figures in Boston's Provincial annals.
A grandson of Increase Mather and great-grandson of Richard,
as also a great-grandson of the noted pulpit orator John Cotton,
he inherited not a little of the intellectual accomplishments of
the gifted Mather and Cotton families. Educated at Harvard
College (where he was graduated in 1725), under the direct in-
fluence of his uncle, Cotton Mather, the '^ literary behemoth of
New England's colonial era," he entered, 20 Dec. 1732, on his
long pastorate of fortyrthree years at the newly founded Hollis
Street Church in Boston with an equipment and a prestige that
few, if any, ministers or literary men of his time in New England
enjoyed. His intellectual promise had been early discerned by
his grandfather. Increase Mather, who in his will charged his
son Cotton to see to the boy's education, and who left him, in
case he should become a minister, a fourth part of his library ;t
and it seems probable that his studies for the ministry had
been directed by his uncle, Cotton Mather. From the Uni-
versity of Aberdeen he received in 1765 the degree of D.D.;
and as pastor of the Hollis Street Church he continued until
August 1776, when on account of his well-known dislike of the
Revolution and his declared friendship with the Loyalist
party, amidst recrimination and intense bitterness, he was
summarily dismissed from his church. In May 1777 he was
denounced in town meeting, with many others, as a person
dangerous to the state; and on 2 June 1777 he was tried by
the Court of Sessions and condemned to be put on board a
guard ship and in forty days transported to Europe or the
West Indies. For some reason, however, possibly on account
of his advanced age, the sentence of banishment was not
carried out, the authorities contenting themselves with keep-
ing him for a few weeks a prisoner in his house, before which
they placed a guard. In retirement, with his two daughters,
and in straitened circumstances, he lived in his house, ''Nassau

Green/' in what is now Tremont Street, until 1788, when on
5 July, after a lingering illness, which had begun with a stroke
of paralysis in 1783, he died.
He left no will; and his estate was administered, 26 Juty
1790, by his only surviving son. Rev. Mather Byles, D.D.,
then of St. John, N. B., Rev. Samuel Parker, rector of Trinity
Church, Boston, and Henry Smith, merchant, becoming
bound with the administrator for the faithful discharge of his
trust. The inventory of his estate included the house on
Nassau Street, valued at £240,* the library, valued at £142.
12s. lOd., a burning glass, a bellows, a diamond ring, seven
gold rings with stones, a pair of sleeve buttons, twenty walking
sticks, a pair of globes in cases, a hand organ with four barrels,
a magic lantern and apparatus, and many other items.
Three original portraits of Dr. Byles remain, one by Pel-
ham, painted very soon after he began his ministry, and two
by Copley, one of them painted, it is believed, in 1768, the
other in 1774, directly before Copley left Boston finally for
England. This eminent ''Boston court painter" was evi-
dently one of Dr. Byles's most intimate friends. t
In May 1884 Rev. Caleb Davis Bradlee, D.D., deposited
with the New England Historic Genealogical Society a bound
duodecimo volume of manuscript letters of Dr. Byles and his
daughters, the first forty-six pages of which, in Dr. Byles's
own handwriting, contain drafts of letters written by him to
various persons between the years 1727 and 1787. Of these
letters, three are to Alexander Pope, three to Dr. Isaac Watts,
three to various English noblemen, two to Dr. Benjamin
Franklin, one to Rev. Dr. John Chalmers, and several to
distinguished public officials in Boston and to various members
of the Byles family. Most of the letters in the last three
quarters of the volume are from Dr. Byles's daughters, the
Misses Mary and Catherine Byles, Miss Mary's being com-
monly signed ''P Byles," and Miss Catherine's being signed
^'K. B." The letters in this part of the volume are written
between 1778 and 1784. The volume as a whole is of much
interest, especially as indicating the deference Dr. Byles felt
toward distinguished men in the Old World, and more fully
as showing the affectionate relations that existed throughout
the Byles family. It is said to have been left by Miss Cather-
ine Byles at the house of Mr. John Etheridge, where it re-
mained probably until late in the nineteenth century. J
Dr. Byles married first, in the State Room of the Province
* This house stood on Nassau (now Tremont) Street, nearly opposite the entrance to
Common Street. Dr. Byles bought it in 1741 for £350. Cf. Eaton's "The Famous

Stoughtons and being connected more or less remotely with
the Brinleys, Byfields, Dudleys, and Lydes.

chains, best silk strings, &c., at the most reasonable prices." In 1769 and in 1782 he
was still living in King Street. That he prospered in his business is shown by the
number of his real estate transactions. He made, as Drake and others tell us, many
of the hall clocks for Boston houses, including the hall clock of his father-in-law. Dr.

[? 1719/20], died in Apr. 1793, '^aged 74." He married
Mildred , who died in Boston 16 Aug. 1815, ''aged
84," and was buried in Tomb No. 186, belonging to William
Donnison, in the Granary Burying Ground.
Between 1761 and 1764 Elisha Byles was two or three times
elected constable in Boston. At a meeting of the selectmen
held 21 July 1779 he states ''that he has taken Benjamin
Bagnal, late an inhabitant of Boston to board, and has let a
Chamber to Mrs. Susannah Wells, late from Waltham,
formerly of Boston."* On 14 Nov. 1781 he applies to the
selectmen "for liberty for his Wife to open a School for teach-
ing Children Reading &c. which was granted." On 16 Apr.
1783 "M'^ Elisha Byles applies to the Selectmen for liberty to
teach some Children in writing, &c. and received their appro-
bation." In 1787 he was a retailer in Salem Street, near
Christ Church. On 17 June 1791 Elisha Byles, brazier, con-
veyed to Mildred and Sarah Byles, spinsters, a dwelling house
and land in Salem Street, reserving to himself the right to
remain in the house as long as he lived. In Jan. 1813 Mildred
Byles, then "88 years old," widow of Elisha Byles, deposing
in Boston in reference to a wharf that had been owned by her
late husband, declared that Dea. Josiah Byles, her father-in-
law, left his property to his children, Mrs. Belknap, Mrs,
Pecker, Mrs. Mary Ballard (her husband's eldest sister, wife
of Daniel Ballard), and Josiah Byles; that Daniel and Mary
Ballard had a son, Elisha Ballard; that she, the deponent,
Mrs. Mildred Byles, had one child, Mildred, living, and that
she had buried three children, one of them since her husband
died; that she never had had a grandchild; that she had at
one time lived "at the eastward;" and that her husband,
Elisha, had been dead "18 years." The wharf and the ad-
joining flats, concerning the ownership of which the deposition
was made, were situated near where "Craigge's bridge" then
stood.t

Boston 12 Jan. 1734/5 and baptized by his father on the same
day, died at St. John, N. B., 12 Mar. 1814.
He was graduated at Harvard College in 1751, and received
the degree of A.M. from his alma mater in 1754 and from Yale
College in 1757, and the degree of D.D. from the University of
Oxford in 1770. He was admitted to communion 29 Sept. 1751 .
From 1755 to 1757 he was librarian at Harvard College; from
1757 to 1768 pastor of the Congregational Church at New
London, Conn.; and then, having become attached to the
Episcopal form of worship, he proceeded to England, where he
was ordained as a priest of the Anglican Church. Returning
to New England, he assumed the rectorship of Christ Church,
Boston. On account of his Loyalist sympathies at the time of
the Revolution he left Boston for Halifax, N. S., in Mar. 1776,
with Howe's fleet, became chaplain to the garrison at Halifax
and assistant to Rev. Dr. Breynton of St. Paul's Church in
that place, and in May 1789 became the second rector of
Trinity Church, St. John, N. B., where he spent the rest of
his life.
Dr. Byles is said in the National Cyclopaedia of American
Biography to have been classical in speech and captivating in
manners, and to have been the author of several hymns which
are still in use. He seems, however, to have left few pub-
lished writings. Valuable letters from him to his father and
sisters in Boston, when he was minister at New London and
later, and his diaries for certain portions of his life are pre-
served, and throw great light on his character and on some of
the events of his life.*
He married first, at Roxbury, Mass., 12 May 1761, his
second cousin, Rebecca Walter, who was born 19 Apr. 1739,
the third child of Rev. Nathaniel (of the Second Church,
Roxbury, 1734-1776) and Rebecca (Abbott). t She died in
Boston 29 Oct. 1775, before her husband fled to Halifax, and
in the register of Trinity Church it is recorded that she was
buried 31 Oct. 1775, aged 37, as second daughter of Rev.
Nathaniel Walter of Roxbury and wife of Rev. Dr. Mather
Byles, Jr.J Dr. Byles married secondly, at Halifax, N. S.
(licence dated 4 Feb. 1777), his second cousin, Sarah Lyde,
who was born in Boston 17 Mar. 1746 [? 1745/6] and died in
Halifax 22 Feb. 1787, daughter of Byfield and Sarah (Belcher),
* For a longer account of his career see Eaton's "The Famous Mather Byles," pp.
205-212, 237-238.
t The grandmothers of Rev. Mather' Byles and Rebecca Walter were sisters, both
being daughters of Rev. Increase Mather. Rev. Nathaniel Walter records in his
parish register that he married in the First Church, Roxbury, 12 May 1761, "the Rev*^
Mr Mather Byles of New London and my Daughter Rebecca."

her father being one of Dr. Byles's fellow refugees from Boston
in Halifax, and her mother being a daughter of Gov. Jonathan
and Mary (Partridge) Belcher of Massachusetts and New
Jersey, a sister of Chief Justice Jonathan Belcher of Nova
Scotia, and therefore a first cousin of Dr. Byles's mother, Mrs.
Anna (Noyes) Byles.* In a letter, as yet unpublished, to his
father and sisters in Boston, dated 15 Mar. 1787, Dr. Byles
gives an account of the death of his second wife, stating that
an autopsy had revealed the fact that it was 'totally owing to
the pernicious practice of lacing and girding herself too tight."
Dr. Byles married thirdly, at Hahfax, N. S., 2 Oct. 1788,
Right Rev. Charles Inglis, D.D., officiating, Mrs. Susanna
(Lawlor) Reid, who was baptized at the New Brick Church,
Boston, 19 Aug. 1750, daughter of Thomas and Susanna
(Martin) of Boston and vridow of Capt. Reid, ^'R.N." This
lady, who according to Dr. Byles had ''an esta^te in New
Hampshire," survived him, and went to England, where she
died.
On 12 Mar. 1814, the day on which Dr. Byles died, the
following notice appeared in a St. John (N. B.) newspaper:
''Died this morning in the 80*^ year of his age the Rev. Math-
er Byles, D.D., late Rector of this city and Chaplain of the
District." . The Columbian Centinel (Boston) of 27 Apr. 1814
announced his death as follows: "In St. John (N. B.) 12
March, the Rev. Mather Byles, D.D., late rector of that city,
and chaplain of the district, Aet. 80. He was son to the cele-
brated Rev. Dr. Byles, who for many years was pa^stor of the
* At the beginning of the Revolution the family of Byfield Lyde was very prominent
in Boston. He was the eldest and only surviving son of Edward (who died in 1725)
and Deborah (Byfield) Lyde, and was born 27 Mar. 1704 [? 1704/5]. He was gradu-
ated at Harvard College in 1723, and married, 17 Aug. 1727, Sarah Belcher, who was
born 22 Apr. 170S and died 10 Oct. 1768. Accompanied by four other members of
his family, Byfield Lj'de went with Howe to Halifax in Mar. 1776, and died there in
the following October. Byfield and Sarah (Belcher) Lyde had fifteen children, of
whom Edward, born 24 May 1736 and baptized in the First Church, Boston, 30 May
1736, and George, baptized 3 Jan. 1741/2, were Loyalists, like their father, and took
refuge in England. This Edward Lyde went to Halifax about a year before the evacua-
tion of Boston; and his daughter Elizabeth was born there 15 Dec. 1775. When
Chief Justice Peter Oliver with his niece reached Halifax, 3 Apr. 1776, Mr. Lyde
invited him to his house and kept him there until he embarked for England, 12 May
1776, as is revealed by a portion of Peter Oliver's journal quoted by Thomas Hutchin-
son in his diary. Hutchinson also says, under date of 7 June 1776, that "Ned Lyde"
has just arrived at Dover from Halifax. (Diary and Letters of Thomas Hutchinson,
vol. 2, pp. 49, 61.) On 18 Dec. 1778 Samuel Pitts was appointed in Boston agent
of the estate of Edward Lyde, "an absentee," and gave bonds; and on 19 Mar. 1779
an inventory of his estate was presented, which showed him to be possessed of valuable
property. Edward Lyde married (1), 15 Jan. 176[5], Katharine Gooch, who died
16 Nov. 1765, in her 28th year; and (2), 15 Oct. 1772, Elizabeth Oliver, who was born

maiden sisters yet reside here, to whom the death of their
worthy brother is pecuHarly afflictive." In 1873 Mr. J. W.
Lawrence of St. John, a local historian, wrote: ''The house
where he [Dr. Byles] died can be seen on the southwest corner
of the market lot, facing Germain Street." Dr. Byles is said
also by Mr. Lawrence to have been buried in the old Sydney
Street Burying Ground in St. John,* though other local
tradition says that he was buried under the chancel of Trinity
Church, where he had for so long ministered. On the wall of
this church was placed a tablet (v/hich still exists), bearing an
inscription which has been printed in the Register, vol. 14,

tion at King's College, New York, and he is said to have been
assistant surgeon in the Royal Artillery in New York in 1776. At
Halifax he became the most eminent general practitioner in the
town, and long acted as surgeon to the ordnance and artillery.
He was buried under St. James Church, Bath. An obituary notice
in a Halifax newspaper in 1817 says: ''Died, at Bath in England
on the 5th February, D^ William James Almon aged 62. He was,
during the greatest part of his life a Practitioner of Physic in this
Town, where the eminence he acquired by his skill in his profession
& attention to its duties makes his death the subject of universal
& deep regret. His goodness of heart and kindness of disposition
will cause him to be long remembered & loved; and if it is any
alleviation to the sorrow of surviving friends to know that they do
not grieve alone, the relations of this good man will have the con-
solation of knowing that all who were acquainted with him partake
of their afflictions." Mrs. Almon was the favorite niece of the
Misses Byles of Boston, and much of the correspondence between
her and them has been preserved. She was a woman of fine
character and great cultivation, and she left a family of the highest
social and professional importance in Nova Scotia. Children:

at sea. He married in New Jersey Ruth Hollywood, who after his death was married

Te[E Byles Bible Record
The following record is taken from the Byles Family Bible, which
was transferred to Halifax, N. S., after the death of Miss Catherine^
Byles of Boston, and was for a long time in the possession of the
Almon family. It is now the property of Miss Mary W. Ritchie of
* A tablet in a church in Grenada bears the following inscription, which was copied,
7 Feb. 1887, by Mather^ Byles's grandson, Capt. Mather^ Byles, R.N., then of Her
Majesty's ship Tourmaline: "Mather Byles, Esqr, who was born in Boston New Eng-
land 1765, and died in Grenada on Friday 17th day of December 1802, in the 38^^ year
of his age. A man who amidst all the dissoluteness of the age, filled many places of
publick Trust in this Island, with that honor and integrity which all admire and few
dare to imitate. In every domestic situation, whether as a son, brother, a husband, a
parent, or a friend, he shone with equal lustre. To mild, pleasing manners and a sound
judgment, he added every virtue that can dignify Humanity, but to tell his character
in a word, 'He was a Christian.' This stone, a Tribute of gratitude and a testimony of
Admiration for a character so exemplary, is erected by his brother Belcher Byles.
'Let me die the death of the Righteous, and let my last end be like his.' xxii Numbers,
IQth verse." To the fine character of Mather* Byles the unpublished correspondence
of the Byles family bears striking testimony.

Maverick
[Through the kindness of Hon. Frank Warren Hackett, A.M., of Washington,
D. C, formerly Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Frederick Lewis Gay, A.B., of
Brookline, Mass., President of the Prince Society, and William Prescott Greenlaw,
Esq., Librarian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the Editor has
been permitted to add the Maverick entries obtained several years ago from the
parish registers of Awliscombe and Honiton, co. Devon, and hitherto unprinted,
and also records from the ordination and institution books at Exeter, co. Devon,
to the Maverick records which Miss French has sent from England for publication
in this number of the Register. Mr. Hackett was generously aided by the
researches of the late Josiah Smith, Esq., of Willingham, co. Cambridge. Miss
French's contribution consists chiefly of the abstracts of wills given in this article,
of entries found in the parish registers of St. Mary Major (Exeter), Ilsington,
and Uttery St. Mary, co. Devon, and of the very important record of the suit
instituted by Peter Mavericke, clerk, in 1612. From these various records and
from others already in print it has been possible to compile a Maverick pedigree
extending from Robert Mavericke, clerk, of Awliscombe, co. Devon, to his great-
grandson Samuel Maverick, the well-known settler at Winnissimet and Noddle's
Island, Mass., and the latter's children and grandchildren. The document
discovered by Miss French in the records of the Court of Requests establishes
with absolute certainty the paternal ancestry of Samuel Maverick, about which
writers of history and genealogy have hitherto failed to agree.]

weakness of body by means of a dropsy. Whereas I have given divers gifts

time of my death I be of as good estate as I was. But seeing that it hath
pleased god to visit me sithence with a long and chargeable illness and
soe expend the most part she shall proportionally deduct from
them, but Joan Rackley, Dociblc Southcott, and my cousen Anne are to.have

From the Records of the Court of Requests
The Complaint of Peter Mavericke of Awliscombe, co. Devon, clerk,
against William Champneys, gent., of Yarnscombe, co. Devon, dated 19 May,
10 James I [1612]. The defendant agreed to lease to the complainant a
messuage and lands situated in Awliscombe, late in the tenure of Alexander
Harris in the right of his wife, and later in the tenm'e of the said William
Champneys. On the last day of February 1609 the defendant agreed that
for £130 he would make to the complainant a good and indefeasible estate for
ninety-nine j^ears, determinable on three lives, 20s. being then paid to bind
the bargain as ''an earnest pennye," £9 to be paid at the next assizes holden
for Devon, and £40 to be paid at every assize holden thereafter for Devon,
untn the whole sum of £130 be paid. The three lives named by the said
Peter were those of his son Nathaniell Mavericke and of Samuell and Elias,
two of the sons of John Maverick, son of the said Peter. The said Peter
appeared at the assizes held in August following, to pay £40 according to the
agreement; but the defendant, having intelligence that more money might
be gotten for a fine of said messuage and premises, devised with himseK by
some means to put your said subject from his bargain; and therefore took on
him to draw up the lease, and inserted therein divers reservations, covenants,
and unreasonable conditions, neither formerly spoken of nor agreed nor fit to
be tolerated, and could not be induced to strike them out. Whereat your
said subject taking some offense and dislike, the said defendant moved your
subject to relinquish his bargain; and made a new agi'eement with your sub-
ject that if he would cancel said bargain, he, the said defendant, would re-
pay the £10 formerly received as part of his fine, and in addition would pay
him 10 angels in gold or £5 in silver, and would let him have the said messuage
and lands for one year from the time of the first agreement, which offer your
said subject accepted, and agreed that the said William Champneys might
demise the same to any other, which he has since done; and tho' this defend-
ant hath often in most gentle and friendly manner entreated him to repay

the said £10 and also the 10 angels, yet now, having affected his purpose, the
said Champneys refuseth to pay, and evicted the tenants to whom your said
subject had let said messuage and lands, and forbade them to pay the last
quarter's rent to your said subject. The said bargain was concluded in
private, and the said Champneys put the agreement down in writing and
refuseth to give it up. Asks that a writ of privy seal be directed to the said
William Champneys to appear before Your Majesty's Honorable Court of
Whitehall, to answer the premises upon his oath.
Answer of William Champneys, gent., taken at Torrington 13 June 1612.
Admits it is true that about the last day of February 1609 there was a con-
tract made between Peter Maverick, clerk, the complainant, and defendant
concerning the making of a lease of lands, etc., mentioned in the Bill, and
that he, this defendant, had 20s. in part of the fine of the said lease and £9
at the Lent assizes then following, and the complainant nominated Nathaniel
Maverick his son and Samuel and Elias Maverick his grandchildren to this
defendant, on whose lives he was to have the lease for ninety-nine years, and
this was briefly set down in a note by William Northcott, gent., and sub-
scribed by complainant and defendant, whereby it appears that a condition
was to be made that the lessee could only let the premises from year to year,
and that only to pasture and not to tillage, without consent of the defendant,
that on the death of each of the three lives the best beast should be paid as
a hcriot, or 40s., and so on, as may be seen by reference to the note. The
said Champneys gave this note to a friend to have a lease drawn up, which
was done, under the arrangements aforesaid, at the yearly rental of 9s.; and
afterwards the same was delivei'ed to the complainant, who began to find
fault as to the condition of letting by yearly tenure only; and defendant
denies that complainant brought a sum of £40 to him and also that there was
any second agreement, but admits that he made an offer to complainant to
the effect alleged and that complainant would not accept thereof, altho'
afterward complainant would have accepted; but then defendant would not
agree, because one Harris, who before had offered him £10 more for the same,
now again approached him. But defendant was desirous that the agree-
ment might stand, and was willing to alter the condition of letting to com-
plainant's desire if the latter would pay the £40 arranged for, which said
defendant was relying on; but complainant refused, and defendant believes
that he had not the money to pay, and so defendant was driven to let the
premises to one John Burton for £5 less. And further he refers himself to the
said note and the lease formally drawn up.
The Replication of Peter Mavericke, clerk, dated 30 June, 10 James
I [1612]. He acknowledges himself to be repaid the £10 for the first payment
of the fine if he had enjoyed the premises for one whole year as by defendant's
promise; but denies that defendant was wiUing to omit the condition of
letting otherwise than for one year unless he gave a consideration. in mone}^,
but alleges that the second agreement was absolutely agreed to and accepted,
altho' complainant was willing to stand to his first agreement and had the
£40 ready, had not defendant willingly made proffer of 10 angels to com-
plainant to relinquish his former bargain, and accordingly brought £40 to
the next assizes, intending to have his lease sealed, which the defendant
untruly denies; and he affirms that all he said in his Bill was true. (Public
Record Office, Court of Requests, unindexed records, Bundle 467.)

John Mavericke was matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford,
24 Oct. 1595, aged 18, being described as a clergyman's son. He
received the degree of B.A. 8 July 1599 and that of M.A. 7 July 1603,*
having been already ordained at Exeter, co. Devon, as deacon and
priest 29 July 1597. Perhaps he was curate to his uncle, Radford
Mavericke, vicar of Ilsington, the parish in which the record of his own
marriage is found. On 30 Aug. 1615 he was inducted at Silverton,
CO. Devon, by William Cotton, Bishop of Exeter, to the rectory of
Beaworthy, co. Devon, on the presentation of Arthur Arscott,
Esq.jt patron of the living. (Bishop's books, Exeter; cf. Register,
vol. 49, pp. 214, 458.) He remained at Beaworthy until his resigna-
tion shortly before his emigration to New England, his successor, John
Crought, B.A., being inducted 24 Mar. 1629/30. (Register, vol. 49,
pp. 214, 458.) In this month John Mavericke was chosen one of the
teachers of the Puritan church that was organized at Plymouth,
England; and on 20 Mar. 1629/30 he sailed from Plymouth in the
Mary and John, one of the ships of Winthrop's fleet, with the colonists
who arrived in New England 30 May 1630 and founded the town of
Dorchester, Mass. He took the oath as freeman on 18 May 1631, and
was minister at Dorchester until his death.
Children:

Charlestown, Mass., where his gravestone was to be seen abt. half

mitted to the church at Charlestown 7 Oct. 1639, and d. at Read-
ing, Mass. (where her married daughters Sarah Walton and Ruth
Smith lived), 7 Sept. 1697, aged 84. Conclusive proof of the
paternal ancestry of Elias Maverick is furnished by the record of
the suit brought in 1612 by his grandfather, Peter Mavericke,
clerk, against William Champneys {vide supra, p. 150). He was
at Winnissimet (now Chelsea), Mass., in 1630; was admitted to
the church at Charlestown 9 Feb. 1632/3; was made freeman
11 June 1633; and lived at Winnissimet, near his brother Samuel's
house, on the westerly part of the Maverick estate (now belonging
to the U. S. Government). In 1654 he was a member of the An-
cient and Honorable Artillery Company. He deposed 15 June
1680, aged 75 (Chamberlain's History of Chelsea, vol. 2, p. 96).

deposed in Sept. 1662, aged 50 ^''ears; in Nov. 1665, aged abt. 54
years; in Mar. 1667, aged abt. 55 years; at the June Term, 1668,
aged 57 years; at the March Term, 1669, aged 57 years; and at
the June Term, 1669, aged abt. 58 j'^ears. (Marblehead Vital
Records, vol. 3, p. 38.) He also deposed 23 Dec. 1674, aged abt.
64 years (Register, vol. 50, p. 203). His will, dated — Jan.
1685/6 but not signed by him, was presented by the widow for
probate at the court held at Ipswich, Mass., 30 Mar. 1686; but
some of the children objected to the proving of the will and the
matter was referred to the next court to be held at Salem, Mass,
Evidently the vvdll was not allowed; for on 15 July 1686 Eunice
Maverick, the widow, was appointed in Boston administratrix of
the estate of ''Moses Maverick late of Marblehead deceased
Intestate." In 1691 Edward Woodman, a son-in-law of the
deceased, twice petitioned the court to order the administratrix to
give an account of her administration; and apparently in 1693
another such petition was presented by him. Final settlement of
the estate was made 29 Nov. 1698. The unsigned will of Moses
Maverick, the inventory of his estate, and the other papers on
file at Salem and in Boston concerning the settlement of the estate
have been published in full in The Mayflower Descendant, vol. 5,
pp. 129-141, and are an important source of information in regard
to the children of the deceased. Children by first wife: 1. Rehccc^,

15 July 1678, to Edward Oilman and Abigail his wife, dau. of

(York Deeds, lib. 3, fo. 109.) The name of his wife is unknown.
He was a merchant, of the Isles of Shoals, in 1647; was of Kittery,
Me., in 1652, when he submitted to the government of Massachu-
setts; and removed to Exeter, N. H. Children: 1. Abigail, m.
Edward Oilman of Exeter, yeoman. 2. Katharine, m. Stephen
Paul of Kittery, shipwright. These two daughters and their
husbands on 7 June 1682 sold land "which was our deceased
fathers Antipas Mauericke." (York Deeds, lib. 3, fo. 112. Cf.
Pope, Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire, p. 137.)
5. Samuel Maverick {John, Peter, Robert), was bom in England about
1602, his deposition of 7 Dec. 1665 stating that he was then "aged 63
yeares or thereabouts" (Suffolk Deeds, lib. 4, fo. 328), and died be-
tween 1670 and 15 May 1676, being referred to in the will of his son,
Nathaniel of Barbados, dated 16 Aug. 1670, as then living. In his
book entitled "An Account of Two Voyages to New-England," first
published in 1674, John Josselyn, Gentleman, after recording his
arrival in Boston Harbor on 3 July 1638, writes: "The Tenth day
[10 July 1638], I went a shore upon Noddles Island to Mr. Samuel
Maverick (for my passage) the only hospitable man in all the Coun-
trey, giving entertainment to all Comers gratis."* " Having refreshed
my self," Josselyn continues, "for a day or two upon Noddles-Island,
I crossed the Bay in a small Boat to Boston, . . . and ... I returned
in the Evening to my lodging." On 12 July he took leave of "Mr.
Maverick, and some other Gentlemen," and started for Maine. t
From 30 Sept. 1639 to 10 Oct. of the same year Josselyn was again
entertained by Mr. Maverick at his house on Noddle's Island. J In
his "Chronological Observations of America," published in 1674, the*
same author wrote, under date of 1630: "The Tenth of July, John
Winthorp Esq; and the Assistants arrived in ^ew-England, . . . with
him went over Mr. Thomas Dudley, Mr. Isaac Johnson, ^'squires;
Mr. John Wilson, Mr. George Philips, Mr. Maverich (the Father of
Mr. Samuel Maverich, one of his Majesties Commissioners) Mr.
Wareha7n Ministers." § In spite of this statement by Josselyn, who,
having been a visitor at Samuel Maverick's house in 1638 and 1639, ||
was in a position to know who the father of his host was. Palfrey
(History of New England, vol. 2, p. 581, note), Savage (Genealogical
Dictionary, vol. 3, p. 181), and Chamberlain (History of Chelsea,
vol. 1, p. 7) refused to believe that Samuel of Noddle's Island was a
son of Rev. John Maverick; but the record of the suit brought in 1612
by Peter Mavericke, clerk, against William Champnej's {vide supra,
p. 150), in which Peter names Samuel and Elias as two of the sons of
his (Peter's) son John, furnishes conclusive proof of the parentage of
Samuel and vindicates the accuracy of Josselyn.
Samuel Maverick was especially prominent among the early settlers
in the Massachusetts Bay. He came to New England about 1624;
for in a letter from New York City, dated 30 May 1669 and found
among the Winthrop Papers, he writes: "It is 45 yeares since I came
into New England." (4 Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., vol. 7, p. 318.) This

II Perhaps Samuel Maverick's widowed mother, with her daughters, was living at
his house, when Josselyn was there.
158 Genealogical Research in England [April
agrees with his statement in the "Discription of New England"
(Register, vol. 39, p. 46*), in which he speaks of ''my observations
which for severall years I have spent in America, even from the year
1624 till within these two yeares last past." In 1625 he fortified at
Winnissimet (now Chelsea, Mass.) a house "with a PilUzado and
fflankers and gunnes both belowe and above in them," a house which
in 1660 was ''yet standing there . . . the Antientest house in the
Massachusetts Government." (76., p. 38.) On 2 Oct. 1632 he took
the oath as freeman. On 1 Apr. 1633 he received from the General
Court a grant of Noddle's Island (now East Boston), and built, prob-
ably in 1634, a house there, Maverick Square in East Boston still
preserving his name. He had other large grants of land in Massa-
. chusetts and Maine. In 1635 he w^ent to Virginia for corn and re-
mained there nearly a year. He was one of the earliest slaveholders
in Massachusetts. Attached to the Church of England and to the
cause of the Khig, he was often at enmity with the authorities in
Massachusetts, and shortly before the Restoration he went to Eng-
land to complain of the treatment to which he had been subjected in
the Puritan colony. In 1664 he came back as one of the four royal
commissioners appointed by Charles II to settle the affairs of New
England and to reduce the Dutch in New Netherland. The com-
missioners were not successful in their dealings with Massachusetts,
and Samuel Maverick settled in New York after it had passed under
English rule. On 15 Oct. 1669 he wrote to Col. Richard Nicolls,
formerly one of his fellow commissioners, and thanked him for obtain-
ing for him the gift of a house "in the Broad Way," as a reward for
his fideUty to the King.f
Samuel Maverick married, about 1628, Amias (Cole) Thompson,
daughter of William of Plymouth, co. Devon, England, shipwright,
and widow of David of Plymouth aforesaid, apothecary, and later of
New England (Aspinwall Notarial Records, pp. 128-130). "David
Thomson" and " Amyes CoUe" were married in St. Andrew's Church,
Plymouth, England, 13 July 1613 (Register, vol. 47, p. 77). David
Thompson was sent out by Gorges to the Piscataqua in 1623, and
about 1626 removed to the island in Boston Harbor which still bears
his name. There he died about 1628, leaving a son, John, who on
25 Dec. 1643 assigned a bill to "my ffather m^ Samuell Maverick" and
was living in 1650 (Aspinwall Notarial Records, pp. 70, 326-327), and
probably other children, since Mrs. Amias Maverick, in a letter from
"Nottells Hand in Massachusetts Bay," dated 20 Nov. 1635 and
addressed to Mr. Robert Trelawny, merchant, at Plymouth, England,
speaks of her "ffatherles children." (2 Coll. Maine Hist. Soc, vol. 3,
pp. 76-78.) In a memorandum added to the will of her son, Nathan-
iel Maverick of Barbados, and dated 3 Sept. 1672, Mrs. Amias Maverick
is referred to as then living.
Children :
i. Nathaniel, eldest son (Register, vol. 8, p. 334), called of New
England in an agreement about the sale of Noddle's Island, 14 Jan.

Maverick's " Brief e Discription of New England" was discovered in England by
the late Henry FitzGilbert Waters, Esq., and was printed in Register, vol. 39, pp.
33-48, and also in 2 Mass. Hist. Soc. Proceedings, vol. 1, pp. 231-249. There is in-
ternal evidence that it was written in 1660.

* The parentage of Rev. Isaac^ Clinton and his brother Thomas (24) has been
determined by the following facts: Henry Laurens Clinton (24, ii, 1), grandson of
Thomas, stated that Rev. Isaac Clinton was his uncle, and that he had visited him at
Lowville. In an old letter Isaac Clinton stated that his only brother, George's father
[George was son of Thomas and father of Henry Laurens], died at Woodbridge. The
only Clinton of Woodbridge who could have been father of Isaac and Thomas was Law-
rence^ (10), and it is significant that Thomas had a son Laurin and a grandson Henry
Laurens, both Laurin and Laurens being corruptions of Lawrence. The gap in the
Woodbridge church records from 1755 to 1772 makes absolute proof impossible.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
By John Albree, Recording Secretary-
Boston, Massachusetts, 2 December 1914. A stated meeting of the Society was
held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 p.m., Vice-President Rust pre-
siding.
The minutes of the November meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Council, Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
The report of the Nominating Committee was accepted.
Messrs. Henry F. Tapley and Hosea S. Ballou were appointed auditors.
Seven resident members were elected by ballot.
Miss Mary E. WooUey, LL.D., President of Mount Holyoke College, read a
paper on The Passover Scandal, in which were treated exhaustively the difficulties
growing out of the often recurring clash between Christian and Jew and especially
the allegations that the blood of Christian children was required in the Jewish
celebrations. President Woolley recounted many instances from the early
Middle Ages to the present day, and showed how much of a factor these outbreaks
had been in civic, religious, and financial life, and what large results were directly
due to the agitation.
6 January 1915. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall,
9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 p.m., President Baxter presiding.
The reading of the minutes of the December meeting was waived, and the re-
ports of the Council, Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were
accepted.
Seven resident members were elected by ballot.
Hon. Frank H. Pope, State Auditor of Massachusetts, spoke on Stray Historical
Facts Corralled, referring in his address to the lasting but at times unrecognized
influence of the Mayflower Compact, the abrogation of the treaties between the
Indians and Massachusetts upon which the Maine Indians relied, the laws for
the conservation of bird life which are seldom enacted until too late, the recorded
invention of wireless telegraphy by Loomis in 1869 and the acts of Congress
relating to it, and the importance of one vote as illustrated repeatedly in our
history. He closed with an appeal that as politics is literally the ''business of a
community," men should perform their civic duties with thoughtfulness, under-
standing, and consideration.
President Baxter related some experiences with attempts at propagating wild
birds at his Maine home, and expressed his appreciation of the address of the
afternoon.
On motion of Mr. Scott a vote of thanks to the speaker of the afternoon was
adopted.
S February. The annual meeting of the Society was held this day, for a report
of which see the Supplement to the present numbef of the Register.

Notes
[April
3 March. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton
Place, at 2.30 p.m., President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the February meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Council, Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
The by-laws were suspended, as recommended by the Council, in order that
the names of all candidates for membership might be voted on at this meeting;
and ten resident members were elected by ballot.
Miss Esther Willard Bates of the West Roxbury High School spoke on Pageants
and Pageantry. The speaker, who has had practical experience in charge of
pageants at Medway, Mass., and Peterborough, N. H., explained how the modem
pageant has been developed from the old-time pageants in England, and what
such an affair now contributes toward arousing interest in our own local history.
Many slides were shown of scenes from various pageants, the final one being a
picture of the great pageant at St. Louis, in which 7500 persons took part and
150,000 were present as spectators, all of whom, as the presentation ended,
united in singing "America."
NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection -with their o-wn enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected vrith any
publications other than those that it issues over its ovrn name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in Eng-
land the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her
time as a searcher of records there along special lines for the
benefit of the Register.
WiNTHROP. — The following burial records from the registers of St. Dunstan's
Church, Stepney, co. Middlesex, Eng,, show the correctness of Savage's surmise
that two sons of Stephen Winthrop, a son of Gov. John Winthrop, died in in-
fancy :
1648 John son of Steven Wintropp of Ratchff, gent., and wife Judith buried
9 August.
1648 Steven son of Steven Wintropp of Ratchff, gent., and wife Judith buried
14 August.
6 Haymarket, London, S. W., Eng. Elizabeth French.
Wayte-Wood. — From some original papers recently discovered in the office
of the town clerk at Portsmouth, R. I., I have made the following abstracts:
Thomas Wayte of Portsmouth deceased leaving no will, the estate is in the
hands of Elen late wife and widow of Thomas. The Town Council make the will
as follows:
Elen, widow, administratrix; Samuel Wayte, son of sd Thomas and Elen,
executor on his mother's death; if he die before his mother, then his brother
Thomas to be executor; estate to be divided as follows: To son Samuel the house
and land in Portsmouth at Little Silver. Son Benjamin to have Miscomaqutt
land. Son Rubin to have the land in Darttmouth. The two youngest sons,
Thomas and Jeremy Wayte, to have 30 acres of woods in Portsmouth when
they come to 21 years. To Mary Wayte, daughter of deceased. 14 December
1669.
April 1655. Being requested by the widow of John Woode of Portsmouth and
the sd Woodes children, John Woods, Tbonias, and William, to take an inventory
1915] Notes 189
of his goodfl, the sons before named choose their mother, the late wife of their
father John Wood, as administratrix. She hath given unto his daughter Man-
chester a " ewe gotte," and to his son [-in-law] Samull Jeninges a ewe kid. John is
to have land in his possession. Thomas is to have the 40 acres next Robert
Spinkes land. William is to have the lands and house. John, Thomas, and
William are each to give to their sister Manchester a " ewe goote."
Newport^ R. I, G. Andrews Moriarty, Jr.
Prescott. — In Nourse's Lancaster (Mass.) Records the birth records of the
following children of John and Sarah Prescott may be found: Mary, 2 Feb. 1669;
John, 24, 9, 1672; Joanna, 6 Jan. 1676; Ehzabeth (born at Concord), 27, 9, 1678;
Ebenezer, 6 July 1682. Other children of John Prescott are revealed by a deed
of 25 Jan. 1723/4, in which John Prescott, Sr., of the town of Lancaster, County
of Middlesex, etc., ''for and in consideration of the trouble and care that hath
been manifestly occasioned by me the said John Prescott unto my son Ebenezer
Prescott of the said Lancaster and to his wife Rachel Prescott, and also upon
account of what further care and trouble they may be expected to, by my con-
tinuance under much weakness and indisposition," etc., gives to them a sum of
money. He also gives sums of money to his grandchild Mercy Kendall, to his
daughter Sarah Keyes, and to his daughter Martha Wheeler. To his son Eben-
ezer and the latter's wife, his daughter-in-law Rachel, he gives all his movable
and personal estate both within and without the house, etc. (Middlesex Deeds,
lib. 26, fo. 89.)
14 Charles River Square, Boston, Mass. Idelle Keyes.
Fitch. — The Fitch family of St. Albans, co. Herts, Eng., concerning which
records have from time to time appeared in the Register (cf. vol. 57, pp. 415-
416, vol. 63, pp. 162-164, and vol. 69, pp. 88-89), was a family of greater promi-
nence at St. Albans than would seem to be the case if the occupation of shoemaker,
given by William Fitch in his will of 20 Jan. 1575/6 and by Jeremy Fitch in his
will of 1648, be judged in accordance with present standards. A shoemaker in
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was an artisan of greater skill and was
more a man of affairs than in these days of machine-made footwear.
The Jeremiah Fitch who was buried at St. Albans 12 Sept. 1648 Ls mentioned
in the corporation records of St. Albans, under date of 27 June 1649, as follows:
"Two Assistants were chosen in the room of Conon Rawlyn, gentleman, and
Jeremy Fitch both deceased." The twenty-four assistants appear in the first
charter granted to St. Albans, and were instituted to give advice in municipal
affairs.
Jeremiah or Jeremie Fitch, baptized at St. Albans 5 May 1622, son of Zacherie
and Mary, died in Boston, Mass., 30 May 1692. A few years ago a gravestone
was unearthed in the Granary Burying Ground, Boston, which bore the following
inscription: '' Here lye ye body of Jeremiah Fitch aged 69 years deceased ye 30 of
May 1692." Cf. Register, vol. 55, p. 289.
Maiden, Mass, Walter Kendall Watkinb.
Mills. — An article in the Register, vol. 28, pp. 158-160, giving an abstract
of some early English baptisms in Canada (summarized from Tanguay's Diction-
naire Genealogique) , gives Martha Mills as born 18 Jan. 1653 in Bristol, daughter
of Thomas Mills of Exeter, England, and Mary (Wadel). Tanguay or his copyist
erred. A careful copy of the original baptismal record at the Church of Notre
Dame in Montreal shows that Martha Mills was born at "Saico en la Nouvelle
Angleterre" (Saco in New England), the child of Thomas Mills, a native of
Exeter in old England, and Marie Wadels, a native of Bristol near London. This
clearly identifies Martha Mills as the daughter of Thomas Mills of Saco, who
bought land 2 Aug. 1642 and later removed to Wells, and whose wife (according
to Bourne) was the daughter of John Wadleigh, who was early of Saco and after-
wards of Wells.
The same baptismal record says that Martha Mills (maiden name having been
given in baptism) was then (1693) the widow of James Smith of "Barwic." The
will of James Smith in 1687 names wife Martha and children James, Mary, Eliza-

beth, and John. The son, James Smith, removed to York in 1703. A division
deed of land in Wells, made 1 July 1719 by James Smith of York, John Fulsum
of Exeter, Caleb Kimball of Wells, and Abigail Wiggens of Wells, makes an
allowance to the two last-named in full satisfaction for the maintenance of their
grandfather and for debts that they have paid for John Mills their uncle.
The fact that Martha (Mills) Smith was really born at Saco, viewed in connec-
tion with the division deed, appears to disclose the top branch of a very consider-
able genealogical tree.

Historical Intelligence
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own famihes
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. AD names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

ENGLISH RESEARCH — STANDISH
The Committee on English Research calls special attention
to the important article in the Register for October, 1914,
on the ancestry of Capt. Myles Standish. This article, which
was secured for the Register at a considerable expense, indicates
certain hnes along which further researches for the parentage of
Capt. Standish may be made with a fair prospect of success. The
author of the article has offered to carry on investigations in this
promising field, without compensation for his time, if his expenses
incurred in this additional work are guaranteed. The Committee
solicits special contributions for the Standish research.
Additional funds are also needed immediately for the con-
tinuance of the general English Research work, which has been
carried on so successfully by Miss Elizabeth French for the past
i::^ years ; for, unless further subscriptions are received without
delay, suspension of the work will be inevitable.
Subscriptions, both for the special Standish fund and for the
general English Research fund, may be sent to
Charles S. Penhallow, Chairman,
803 Seaks Building, Boston, Mass.
queries
Queries appear in the advertising pages of the Register; and all such matter is
printed, without restriction as to subject or space, at the rate of ten cents for ten

for gifts to your relatives as well as for preserva-

or of fading in the case of old photographs.
Everyone has a daguerreotype, old
photograph, miniature, painting, or
other portrait of ancestors or relatives,
of which other members of the family
would like to have copies, in small size
for portfolio or album, or in larger
sizes for framing and hanging on one's
wall. They make unique gifts to rela-
tives, for birthdays, weddings, and
other occasions of family reunion or
celebration. In the case of photo-
graphs, most of them fade, and the
negatives are frequently lost; if, there-
fore, families have any that they wish
preserved,for themselves if not for gifts,
it is especially desirable to have them

JULY, 1915
HON. EZRA SCOLLAY STEARNS, A.M.
By Otis Grant Hammond, A.M., of Concord, N. H.
Ezra Scollay Stearns, a resident member of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society from 1894 and its Vice-President from
New Hampshire for the years 1897-1903, died unmarried at Fitch-
burg, Mass., 9 March 1915. He was born at Rindge, N. H., 1 Sep-
tember 1838, a son of Samuel and Mary Fitch (Moore) Stearns, and
v/as seventh in descent from Isaac^ Stearns, who came from Nayland,
CO. Suffolk, England, and settled at Watertown, Mass., in 1630,
through Samuel,^ Nathaniel,^ Daniel,^ Isaiah,^ Daniel,^ and SamueF
Stearns, his father.
His early life was in no way different from that of the ordinary
youth, born in a rural community and lacking the advantages and
luxuries that wealth could procure. He acquired such education as
the common schools of his town could give him, but a college course
was not within his means. He did his best to overcome this hard-
ship by persistent private study and a wisely selected course of
reading, and in this way he prepared himself, as well as possible, for
the future. So successful was he that at the age of twenty years he
was appointed an instructor in Chester Institute at Chester, N. J.,
where he remained four years, until 1862. Teaching, however, did
not appeal to him as a life work, and he returned to New Hampshire. -
Newspaper work was his next venture, and for a time he was editor
and manager of the Chronicle at Fitchburg, Mass. Why he did not
remain in journalism will always be a mystery to his friends, as he
had the keen intellect, the judgment, and the literary ability which,
combined, produce our great editors. Possibly the business manage-
ment of a paper was not agreeable, and his experience was at a time
when few papers were strong enough to maintain a separate depart-
ment for this work. The editor was the whole paper. Later Mr.
Stearns became associated with Mr. Joel Wellington in the Union
Box and Lumber Company of Rindge, with whom he remained many
years.
But manufacturing did not claim his entire attention. His ability
in public affairs was apparent to the people of Rindge, and in 1864,
at the age of twenty-six years, he was sent as a Republican to repre-
sent the town in the Legislature, where he was appointed a member
VOL. LXIX, 13
196 Ezra Scollay Stearns [July
of the Committee on Education. Re-elected in 1865, he was pro-
moted to the chairmanship of that committee; in 1866 he served as
chairman of the Committee on Elections; and in 1867 he held the
same chairmanship, and was a member of the Committees on Judici-
ary and Fisheries.
During the term of 1865 his ability and capacity for hard work
were conspicuous. The opportunity came to him to render a dis-
tinguished service to the government, and so well did he perform his
duty that he was at once recognized as a political asset to the entire
State, a reputation which he never lost. The proposition that the
State should assume the war expenditures of all cities and towns v/as
brought before the Legislature, and Mr. Stearns, Levi W. Barton, and
David D. Ranlet were appointed commissioners to investigate. The
credit of the State was in danger. This bill involved the assumption
by the State of $5,000,000 of town debts, in addition to the then State
debt of about 14,000,000, and the prospect threatened New Hamp-
shire's standing in the money market. The work of the commission
necessitated the auditing of the war expenditures of ever}^ city and
town in the State, and when a report was rendered against the bill
the House showed its confidence in the commissioners by following
their advice in an overwhelming vote.
In 1870 Mr. Stearns was again sent to the House, and served as a
member of the Committee on Railroads. A senator in 1887, he was
appointed chairman of the Committee on Revision of Laws, and a
member of the Committees on Judiciary, Agriculture, and Elections.
Returned to the Senate in 1889, he was given his former chairmanship
and was made a member of the Committees on Banks, Manufactures,
Claims, and Towns and Parishes. In 1891 he consented to an elec-
tion to the House of Representatives, and was appointed chairman of
the Committee on Railroads, and a member of the Committee on
Elections.
But during all this time Mr. Stearns's historical and genealogical
inclinations continued to assert themselves, nor were they repressed.
His first work was a history of his native town, Rindge, published in
1875, and this was followed in 1887 by the ''History of Ashburnham,
Massachusetts." These two books took place immediately as models
of local history and genealogy, and still stand as the finest types of
the old-time town history, written upon a plan which has not yet been
improved. Dartmouth College recognized his ability as an historian
and genealogist by conferring on him in 1887 the honorary degree of
Master of Arts. He edited the genealogical volume of the ''History
of Littleton, New Hampshire," published in 1905, wrote the "History
of Plymouth, New Hampshire," published in two volumes, 1906, and
was editor-in-chief of the "Genealogical and Family History of the
State of New Hampshire," published in four volumes, 1908. His
last work was the "Early Generations of the Founders of Old Dun-
stable," published in 1911, although at the time of his death he had
in manuscript, and practically completed, a volume continuing his
"History of the Town of Rindge" down to the present time. For
many years he was a contributor to the pages of the Register, the
last note from his pen appearing in the issue for January 1913.
1915] Ezra Scollay Stearns 197
He possessed the instinct for genealogy as few men have ever
developed it. The original locations of the early settlers of New
England, their increase and expansion, their emigrations in search
of new lands upon which to maintain later generations, their inter-
marriages, and all the cross currents of life in a new country, so con-
fusing to most of us, were as an open book to Mr. Stearns. Often
was he seen to glance through a genealogical sketch compiled by
another person, a stranger to him, of a family in which he was not
especially interested, and to point to a certain statement and say
''That isn't right." When asked how he knew that the compiler was
wrong, he would say ''I don't know, exactly, but I know that it is
wrong." Then, after a few moments spent in research in his excellent
library, he would almost invariably prove his contention.
The secret of his wonderful ability in this work lay in the fact that
he knew where to look for information on almost any early New Eng-
land family one might name, for he knew their comings and their
goings. He read genealogy for pleasure, as most of us read the latest
issue of a favorite magazine. A new genealogy of a family in which
he may once have had a problem was surely taken to bed with him,
and pored over until Nature reminded him of the labors of the day
which had passed and the perplexities of the day to come.
In his earlier life he liked a horse, nor did he lose this interest until
his residence in Fitchburg removed the necessity of a horse as a part
of his daily life. While living in Concord Mr. Stearns bought a horse
whose beautiful lines pleased his fancy; and within forty-eight hours
he was in the State Library in quest of horse genealogy, and Wal-
lace's ''Register" was immediately added to his library.
In 1891, while serving as a member of the House of Representa-
tives, Mr. Stearns was elected Secretary of State, where again his
capacity for handling public affairs was manifested in a high degree.
In this same session an Australian ballot law was passed, and the work
of organizing the entire system of compiling, printing, and issuing
the ballots, and counting and returning the votes, devolved upon him.
So well and so permanently was this vast labor done that his system
is still in use in that office, modified only as amendments to the ballot
law have made modifications necessary.
To him the archives of New Hampshire owe much. It was through
his efforts that the entire body of papers, records, and maps of the
Masonian Proprietors was donated to the State in 1891 by Mr. Robert
Cutts Peirce, descendant of the last clerk of the Proprietors. These
papers were afterwards pubhshed by the State in volumes 27, 28, and
29 of the series of "State Papers." Again it was through his per-
sistence that the Provincial probate records, deeds, and court records
and files, all of date prior to the division of the Province into counties
in 1771, were reclaimed by the State from the custody of Rocking-
ham County, where they had remained by geographical circumstance.
In the early part of the Revolutionary War the Provincial records
were removed from Portsmouth to Exeter for greater safety, and, as
Exeter became the shire town of Rockingham County in 1771, the old
records remained there for lack of any public recognition of the fact
that they were properly a part of the archives of the State. These
198 The Clinton Family of Connecticut [July
ancient probate records are now being published anriong the "State
Papers," and two volumes have already been issued.
Mr. Stearns resigned the office of Secretary of State in 1899, and
returned to private life at Rindge. Shortly afterwards he removed
to Fitchburg, Mass., where he passed his remaining years. The
Fitchburg Historical Society owes its new home largely to his energy
and interest, and his contributions to the publications of that Society
are many and of great value. In addition to his membership in the
New England Historic Genealogical Society, he belonged also to the
New Hampshire Historical Society and to the American Antiquarian
Society, and he was a corresponding member of several other his-
torical societies.
For the ordinary recreations of man he cared nothing. His rest
was in his flowers. His roses were his children, and he loved and
tended them as a mother.
Politics, genealogy, and roses! A curious mixture, one would
think. And yet they are not so inconsistent. In politics he made
friends of the living, in genealogy, of the dead. His flow^ers were his
friends, and they returned his love in beauty. He cared most for
the details of life. Genealogy is all detail, and flowers are details of
nature.
A keen humor brightened his life and all about him. As a friend
and host he was superb. To his legion of friends he was always
^'Ezry," for they could not even think of him in a less affectionate or
more formal way. His work was good, and his heart was great. He
was a genial, loyal, courteous gentleman. He spoke no evil.

Honour,d gir^
An Oppertunity presents to write & As I am sensible you are fond of
the news in Camp, will endeavour to give a perticculiar account of the greatest
piece of villany that has come to my knowledge since the Commencement
of the war- Major General Arnold has acted him self that is the part of a
Horse Jockey, he wrote to Gen,i Clinton at New York that for a certain sum
of money he would give up the Garrison W: Point into the Hands of the
British, in Consiquence of which proposal Gen' Clinton sent out Major
Andrie Adjutant General to the British Army, to confer with Arnold in what
way the matter should be carried into exicution, & this was agreaed on be-
tween them, that Arnold would draw off as many of the men from the Point
as he could, deprive the remainder of aminution, & arms as much as possible
without being suspected, Give A Draft of all the works & the best plans for
Landing, & the number of men to Majr Andrie, All which was Done, while
this was carrieing[?] on there were three thousand British Troops at Fort
Washington with their Boats waiting for maj^ Andries return, after which
they were to push up in the Night take Arnold prisoner, and then take possion
of the Point, which plan, Happy for us, miscarried — When the Affairs were
detirmined between Andrie & Arnold, — Andrie procured [2] A pass from
Arnold to [go blurred out] pass our Guards to the White Plains & further if he
pleased Under a pretence of getting intelligence from the Enemy Arnold
likewise Desired one Joshua Smith (who was supposed to be a friend to our
cause, but had a hand in this whol affair) to Escort Andrie through our
Guards that he might not be suspected,- Smith went with Andrie Almost to
Tarry-Town & left him, he (Andrie) went forward in expectation that he was
out of Danger but soon meeting three of our militia upon which he asked
them if they were the lower party Upon which they answered they were, he
then said I am very glad to see you, I am a British officer, have been up as
a spy, hope yow will not detain me Long, upon which the men told him they
would not but desired him to get off of his Horse a minute upon which he did
they serched him, & found in his Boots A plan of all our works at W: Point
the number of men at that Post, & euery matter that was riquisit, to carry
their Infernal plan into exicution; they found Arnold was concerned in the
matter, & would not carry Andrie to him, but to Gen' Washington who was
then on his way from Hartford to camp: Arnold haveing notice of Andries
being taken, & that Gen' Washington was very near, he was Imeadiately
struck with Horror, and to saue his Life took his boat & went to a British
ship that Lay in the riuer under a pretence of being a flagg [which crossed out]
in order to blind our people, who at that time [3] knew nothing of the matter,
otherwise he might of been secured, but Happy for him he got safe to the
Enemy — Maj*" Andrie was brought before a Bord of Gen,i Officers where he
confesed ever>^ thing that he had been guilty of, himself, but desired not to
be asked any thing respecting any other carectors[?]; whih he was not.
He was kept in close confinement & informed that he was to suffer death,
wliich sentince he received with the greatest composure & said it was per-
fectly right for he came out as a spy, & his intinsion was to get what infor-
mation he could, to our damage, he was informed that he was to be exicutcd
226 Ancestry of the Chickerings of New England [July
at such an hour, upon which he caled his servant ordered him to make tea,
which he drank with out any perceivable Uneaseiness of mind, he told his
servant to dress & shave him, ordered his Cloaths to be brought, which were
put on with as much composure as though he was going to a Ball, the time
of Exicusion Arrived, he appeared, & I think the most, Agreable, pleaseing
young fellow I ever see, the most agreable smile on his countenance that can
be conceived of, when he came to the Gallos he said he was perfectly sensible
of his fate but Did not like the mode of exicution, he put the rope round his
neck himself, bound his eyes & said with an agreable smile a few minutes
will settle the matter, in doing this there was not the least tremour or ap-
pearance of fear such Fortitude I never [saw crossed out] was witoess of,
nor euer had I such disagreable fealings at an execution, to see a man go out
of time without fear, but all the time smileing is amatter that I could not
[of blurred out] conceeve[d crossed out] of
[4] M'^ Smith, was likewise taken, & is now on Tryal, it is supposed he will
be hanged very soon, & no doubt he Justly deserues it, I think he does

THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF THE CHICKERINGS
OF NEW ENGLAND
By George Walter Chamberlain, M. S., of Maiden, Mass.
In the Register, vol. 61, p. 189, vol. 63, pp. 282-283, vol 64, pp.
136-137, and vol. 68, p. 105, may be found various records pertaining
to the English ancestry and home of the Chickering family of Massa-
chusetts. To supplement these records some Chickering entries are
given below which were found many years ago by the late Horatio G.
Somerby in the parish registers of Wrentham, co. Suffolk, England,
and are now preserved among the Somerby Papers in the possession
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. In these Wren-
tham registers are recorded the baptisms of three of the children of
Henry Chickering, one of the emigrants of that name to New Eng-
land, the burial of his first wife and of one of his daughters, the
marriage of his brother John, and some births, baptisms, and burials
in the family of another brother, Simon Chickering of Wrentham.
Copies are given also of two letters, the original letters being now
in the possession of Mrs. Allen F. Smith of Dover, Mass., which
show conclusively that Nathaniel Chickering of Dedham, Mass.,
who on 23 May 1670 was living with Henry Chickering and is
called by the latter ''my kinsman" in his will of the same date, was
a son of Simon and Prudence Chickering of Wrentham. A sum-

mary follows, in genealogical form, of the facts concerning Henry
Chickering, Sr., and his family which have been revealed by the
Chickering records printed here and in the previous issues of the
Register to which reference has been made above. A few state-
ments have been derived from the printed vital records of Dedham,
Mass.

Wrentham August: 9th: 1690:

Chickrings sonne was at my howse at Wrentham w^^ is neere eight yeares
since.

The records now accessible justify the following statement about
Henry Chickering, Sr., and his family:
Henry Chickering, yeoman, born probably about 1560, lived in
the parish of Bramfield, co. Suffolk, England, from 1588 to 1595,
or perhaps for a longer period, and is found in the parish of Rings-
field, in the same county, on 11 July 1626, when he made his
will, which was proved 7 July 1627. (See Register, vol. 63, p.
282.) He married Mary , who was living 11 July 1626.
As the extant parish registers of Ringsfield do not begin until 1751,
we can derive no information from them relating to his immediate
family.

RECORDS FROM CAPT. JOHN GORHAM'S BIBLE
Communicated by Daniel Vincent, Esq., of Chilmark, Mass.
The accompanying half-tone illustrations show the two sides of
a leaf that without doubt at one time formed a part of a Bible be-
longing to Capt. John Gorham of the Plymouth Colony, w^hose wife
was Desire Howland, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Tilley)
Rowland of the Mayflower company. No mention of a Bible is
found in the inventor}^ of Capt. John Gorham's estate, taken 29 Feb.
1675/6 and printed in The Mayflower Descendant, vol. 4, pp. 154-156;
but in the inventory of the estate of his widow. Desire (Howdand)
Gorham, which was exhibited to the court at Pl^^mouth 6 Mar.
1683/4 and has been printed in The Mayflower Descendant, vol. 4,
pp. 217-220, appears the following:
Item pewter 12^ shillings 1 Chist 2^ and old bible and TilHnhasts
book 2s 00 16 00
Desire Gorham, eldest child of Capt. John and Desire (Howland)
Gorham, was married at Barnstable, 7 Oct. 1661, to John^ Hawes*
(Edmond^), and died 30 June 1700, her husband dying 11 Nov.
1701.t The Bible that had belonged to her parents evidently be-
came the property of Desire (Gorham) Hawes and later came into
the possession of her son Benjamin^ Hawes ;t for in his will, dated
15 Oct. 1722, Benjamin Hawes bequeathed to his daughter Experience

t Yarmouth records; Hawes's Edmond Hawes, p. 148; The Mayflower Descendant,
vol. 5, p. 177, where a record from Col. John Gorham's "Wast Book" reads: "Desire
— Gorham — marycd a Capt Haws Yarmouth — having his Leg Cut of Dyed with It."
% He was born at Yarmouth 20 Mar. 1682/3 (Yarmouth Vital Records, in The May-
flower Descendant, vol. 2, p. 207); died between 15 Oct. and 28 Nov. 1722, the dates
of the making and proving of his will; married at Edgartown, 24 July 1705, Dorcas
Smith (Edgartown Vital Records, p. 131), who survived him and married (2) 22 Dec.
1724 John Worth (i6.).

RECORD FROM CAPT. JOHN GORHAM'S BIBLE
i
1915] Records from Capt, John Gorham's Bible 243
'^ my great Bible which was my Mothers."* This daughter Experi-
ence, the eldest child, was born at Edgartown 14 Nov. 1706 ;t and her
name and her father's name, written on the title-page from the old
Bible, are clearly shown in the illustration facing page 242.
What was the fate of the old Bible, after it came into the hands of
Experience Hawes, and who were its subsequent possessors, have not
been discovered; but the leaf of which the two sides are shov/n in
the accompanying illustrations was found with other treasured
papers among the personal effects of the late Hiram Luce of West
Tisbury, Mass., who was born at Tisbury 28 Apr. 1829 and died at
West Tisbury 11 Oct. 1911, son of Edmund and Sally Luce of Tis-
bury and grandson of a Thomas Luce who is said to have fought under
John Paul Jones on the Bon Homme Richard.
The leaf measures about 8J by 5f inches, and the illustrations
are therefore about three fourths as large as the original leaf.
The writing that is legible on the title-page reads as follows:
Benj^ Haws apointed
Expereince Hawes har Boock god giue har grace thair in to Luck and
when har [torn] tol then Lor[f orn] have marsey one har sool.
On the reverse of the title-page stands first the following record
in the handwriting of Capt. John Gorham.'t
The Age of our Children as followeth
Desire Gorum borne the 2 of Aprill 1644
Temperanc Gorum borne the 5 of May 1646
Elisebeth Gorum borne the 2 of Aprill 1648
Jams Gorum borne the 28 of Aprill 1650
John Gorum borne the 20 of febuary 1651
Joseph Gorum borne the 16 of febuary 1653
Jabez Gorum borne the 3 of August 1656
Marcy Gorum borne the 20 of Jenuarj^ 1658
Ledea Gorum borne the 11 of Nowember 1661
Hannah Gorum borne the 28 of nowember 1663
Shubaell Gorum borne the 21 of October 1667 §
Below the list of Capt. John Gorham's children are two entries,
in different handwritings, the first one evidently written by John
Hawes and recording the death of his wife, Desire (Gorham) Hawes,
and the second one written by one of John Hawes's children and
recording the death of John Hawes, the writer's father.
These entries are as follows:
My Deair Wife Gaue up hur. Breth to god that gaue it hur. the Last
day of June 1700
My Deair faither Gaue [torn] his breath to God that Gaue it [torn] no-
uember the 11 1701

vol. 50, illustration facing p. 32.
§ The births of the first nine children of Capt. John and Desire (Rowland) Gorham,
down to and including Lydia, were entered in the Barnstable town records and have
been printed in The Mayflower Descendant, vol. 5, p. 72; but the Bible record given
above furnishes also contemporary evidence for the birth dates of the two youngest
children, Hannah and Shubael.

From Feet of Fines*
Fifteen days after Easter, 11 Charles I [13 April 1635]. Final Concord in
the King's Court at Westminster between Timothy Oldmanes alias Pricke
and Mary his wife, querents, and Simon Eire, gentleman, and Dorothy his
wife, deforciants, of two messuages, one stable, two gardens, and one orchard
in Bury St. Edmunds. Plea of covenant. Simon and Dorothy have ac-
knowledged the aforesaid premises to be the right of Timothy, as those which
Timothy and Mary have of the gift of Simon and Dorothj^, and they have
remised and quitclaimed them from Simon and Dorothy and their heirs to
Timothy and Mary and the heirs of Timothy forever. And, moreover,
Simon and Dorothy have granted for themselves and the heirs of Simon that
they will warrant to Timothy and Mary and the heirs of Timothy the afore-
said premises against Simon and Dorothy and the heirs of Simon forever.
And for this Timothy and Mary gave to Simon and Dorothj'' £80. [Trans-
lated from the Latin.] (Feet of Fines, Suffolk, Easter, 11 Charles I.)
[Because of the lack of wills nothing has been learned about the ancestry
of Simon Aires and his wife, Susan Vale, parents of the Simon Aires or Eyre
who emigrated to New England in 1635; but both were probably descended
from families of their respective names that had been resident at La venham,
CO. Suffolk, since the Middle Ages. The following pedigree, therefore, begins
with the father of the emigrant.
* Preserved in the Public Record Office, London.
250 Genealogical Research in England [July
1. Simon Aires, of Lavenham, co. Suffolk, born probably about 1557, died
after 1637. He married at Lavenham, 7 Feb. 1582/3, Susan Vale, who was
buried at Lavenham 21 Sept. 1637.
Children, baptized at Lavenham:
i. Susan, bapt. 18 Oct. 1585; bur. at Lavenham 20 June 1589.
2. ii. Simon, bapt. 21 June 1588.
iii. Anna, bapt. 23 Apr. 1591.
iv. John, bapt. 5 Jan. 1593/4; perhaps the man who m. at Lavenham,
13 Nov. 1627, Dorothy Huske, and had cliildren who are re-
corded there.
V. Anthony, bapt. 24 Oct. 1596; bur. at Lavenham 2 Mar. 1615/lG.
2. Simon Aires or Eyre, of Lavenham and Bury St Edmunds, co. Suffolk,
and of Watertown, Mass., surgeon, baptized at Lavenham 21 June
1588, died in New England in Dec. 1658. He married first, probably
about 1616, Dorothy Payne, born about 1598, died in Boston, Mass.,
11 Aug. 1650, daughter of William and Agnes (Nves) of Lavenham.*
At some time after the birth of their first child they removed from
Lavenham probably to Bury St Edmunds, where on 13 Apr. 1635
they sold two houses, a stable, two gardens, and an orchard. Two
days later, with their eight children, they sailed for New England in
the ship Increase, and settled, on their arrival in Massachusetts, at
Watertown. Simon Eyre married secondly, about 1651, Martha
(Hubbard) Whittingham, born in England about 1612, died 13 July
1687, daughter of William and widow of John.
He was freeman 17 Apr. 1637, representative in 1641, selectman
in 1636-1643, and town clerk in 1641-1645. He was admitted to
the church 17 Apr. 1647, and soon afterwards he removed to Boston.
In his will, dated 5 July 1658, an abstract of which is given in
Register, vol. 9, pp. 39-40, he mentions wife Martha and children
Thomas, Dorothy, John, and Maria, and states that the rest of his
children have had their portions. The other daughters, therefore,
were probably married before this will was made, as we know to be
the case with Anna.
Children by first wife:
i. Marie, bapt. at Lavenham 22 June 1619; came to Watertown with
her parents; m. Richard Moseley; mentioned in the will of her
uncle, William Payne, in 1660.

wife of John Page, and of William Payne, all of whom were early settlers in New Eng-
land. For Payne and Page entries in the parish registers of Lavenham, co. Suffolk.

or Neve.

From the Records of the Court of Requests
12 February, 21 James I [1623/4]. Elizabeth Sale of Chesshum, co.
Bucks, widow, relict and executrix of Edward Sale, late of Chessham, brings
suit against Randle Wetwood of London, haberdasher. She claims that her
husband Edward Sale, being a mercer, had dealings with and bought wares
of the defendant, who was a haberdasher, and, owing him £17. 19s. 4d. for
wares, entered into a bond in August 1618 to pay said sum, w^hich sum was
afterwards paid. But bj' reason of the great trust and confidence which he
had in the said Wetwood, he took little care nor gave any sufficient direction
for the cancelling of said bond, not doubting that the said Randall would
have cancelled the same of his own accord, by reason whereof said bond hath
remained in the hands of the said Wettwood uncancelled. Complainant is
executrix of her husband's will, and hath in administering said estate paid
said Wettwood several sums owing him for a debt her late husband owed said
Wettwood as surety for one James Gossham; yet the said Wettwood hath
not claimed anything on the said bond until now of late, by reason of some
dislike he hath taken [for reasons mentioned], he hath brought suit at the
common law to recover said £17. 19s. 4d. Asks for a writ of Pri\y Seal to
be directed to the said Randle Wetwood.
The Answer of Randle Wettwood, dated 28 April, 22 James I [1624],
He declares that Edward Sale paid £4. lis. 4d. on said debt, so that there is
still owed £13. 8s. Claims that, about six months after the death of Edward
Sale, William Presson, son-in-law to said complainant, who was privy to all
the passages between the said defendant and said Sale, and also now solicitor
in this cause, came to defendant from complainant and asked how much the
said Edward owed; and, being told, said he would see it paid. Denies that
complainant has paid anything to him for the debt of James Gosham. (Public
Record Office, Court of Requests, unindexed records, Ikmdle 423.)
[The foregoing records supplement the data given in Register, vol. 65,
pp. 63-69. The suit in the Court of Requests is interesting because it shows
that WiUiam Preston of Chesham, co. Bucks, of Dorchester, Mass., and
1915] Descenda7its of Robert Huckins 255
of New Haven, was in England a solicitor, and therefore probably a man of
superior education and station in life. Since Edward Sale in his will of
17 Oct. 1620 does not mention his daughter Dorcas, it is probable that the
Dorcas Sale who was buried in 1619 was his child. — Elizabeth French]

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
By John Albreb, Recording Secretary
Boston, Massachusetts, 7 April 1915. A stated meeting of the Society was held
in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 p.m., Vice-President Rust presiding.
The minutes of the March meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Council, Librarian, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
Four resident members were elected by ballot.
The paper of the afternoon was by George Parker Winship, A.M., Librarian
of The John Carter Brown Library, Providence, R. I., the subject being Some
Colonial Travellers. Mr. Winship mentioned many of those who from the time
of Sir Humphrey Gilbert onward to the Revolution had made joumeyings in the
New World and whose accounts were printed. He explained the impelling
1915] Notes 281
motives for their travels, as far as they can now be ascertained, quoted freely from
their writings, and called attention to the straightforward character of the narra-
tives as supplying strong evidence of their credibility.
NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection "with their o-wn enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its ow^n name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The C ommittee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in Eng-
land the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her
time as a searcher of records there along special lines for the
benefit of the Register.
Some Vital Records of Lebanon, Me. — Capt. John Hayes removed from
Dover, N. H., to Lebanon, Me., 20 Jan. 1778 (Hasey's MS. Diary, 1778). He
purchased his farm of Samuel Corson, 7 Oct. 1777, and of James Door, 16 Oct.
1777 {lb., 1777). Capt. Hayes and his son Elihu Hayes, better known as "Squire"
Hayes, were prominent in the town of Lebanon, "Squire" Hayes dying there
1 May 1857, aged 93 years, and his wife Sally dying there 8 Apr. 1857. Nearly
twenty years ago I copied the following records from "Squire" Hayes's Bible;
and many of these entries cannot be found elsewhere, the Lebanon town record
of deaths being especially incomplete.

Pembroke (Mass.) Records. — In an interleaved copy of "An Astronomical
DIARY, OR, AN ALMANACK For the Year of our Lord CHRIST, 1742.
ByNathanaelAmes BOSTON in NEW-ENGLAND: Printed
by John Draper, for the Booksellers, 1742," a little book (unbound) measuring
about 6 1 inches in height by 4j inches in width, are many brief entries written by
a minister, probably Rev. Daniel Lewis, who was pastor of the First Church of
Pembroke, Mass., from 1712 until his death on 29 June 1753, in his 68th year.
The state of the weather and the various texts from which the writer preached
his sermons are the chief subjects of record in this diary; but there are also some
records of marriages and deaths, and these, together with a few other interesting
entries, are given below. Several of these vital records do not appear in the
printed Vital Records of Pembroke.

Howes. — The Rawlinson MS. A 128, in the Bodleian Library, comprising
records of the proceedings of the Court of High Commission (Ecclesiastical
Division), 1G32, gives an interesting account of the prosecution of Rev. John
Lothrop and his flock of Dissenters who met at a conventicle in the Blackfriars,
London. Among those arrested were Samuel Howes and his sister Penninah
Piowes, who was a sister-in-law of Mr. Lothrop (see Register, vol. 67, p. 261);
and their examination by the different members of the Court is recorded as
follows :
"Samuel Howes!" saith the Kings Advocate, "you are required by your oath
to answere to the articles." Howe. "I have served the King both by sea and
by land, and I had been at sea if this restraint had not been made upon me. My
conversacon I thank God none can tax." Register. "Will you take j'our
oath?" Howe. "I am a young man and doe not know what the oath is."
Kings Advocate. "The King desires your service in obeying his lawes."
Then P[enninah] Howes was called and required to take her oath, but she
refused. London. "Will you trust Mr. Latropp and believe him rather than
the Church of England?" Pennina. "I referre myself to the Word of God,
whether 1 male take this oath or noe."
Penninah Howes became the wife (probably the second wife) of Robert Linnell,
the immigrant ancestor of that family of early residents of Barnstable on Cape
Cod.
Milwaukee, Wis. Charles Edward Banks.
Sherman-Palmer. — In all the printed references to Grace, the mother of
Capt. John^ Sherman of Watcrtown, Mass., it is stated that she was married four
times: first to John Sherman, who died at Great Horkesley, co. Essex, Eng.,
24 Jan. 1615/16; secondly to Thomas Rogers, who died 12 Nov. 1638, by whom
she had a daughter, Elizabeth, who is named in her will; thirdly to William
Palmer, whose daughter, Martha, married Capt. John^ Sherman; and fourthly
to Roger Porter, who died 3 Apr. 1654, and as whose widow she died at Water-
town, Mass., 3 June 1662.
I am quite certain that she was married only three times, and was the wife and
widow successively of John Sherman, Thomas Rogers, and Roger Porter. That
she was never the wife of William Palmer is evident from the fact that on 6 Oct.
1647 an Ann Palmer, widow of Wilham Palmer of Hampton, was the wife of
Francis Plumer, Christopher Palmer, in behalf of Ann Palmer, widow of William
Palmer of Hampton, conveying on that date a house and land in Newbury to
William Sawyer of Newbury, and Francis Plumer of Newbury giving his consent
"to the bargin My wife An Plomer baue made." (Records and Files of the Quar-
1915] Notes 285
terly Courts of Essex County, Massachusetts, vol. 2, p. 349.) This deed shows also
that the widow Ann Palmer and Francis Plumer were already married a long time
before the date for their marriage given in the town copy of the Newbury records.
This William Palmer of Hampton was the father of Martha Palmer, who
married Capt. John^ Sherman of Watertown; for in a deed, dated 10 Mar. 1645/6,
William Palmer of Hampton, yeoman, in consideration of a release of a parcel
of land in Great Ormsbye, in Old England, by his daughter Martha Palmer, now
the wife of John Sherman of Watertown, in which his said daughter had an
interest to the value of 105 li., sold to the said John Sherman and Martha, his wife,
his dwelling and house lot and all other land at Newberry, about twenty acres,
also all his houses and land in Hampton, about one hundred and ten acres of
upground, meadow and marsh, most of it already laid out, as mentioned in the
town book of Hampton, with all commonage, etc. This deed, witnessed by
Timothie Dalton and W^illm. Howard, was acknowledged 12 Mar. 1645/6 before
Samuel Symonds. (76.)
Capt. John^ Sherman of Watertown was a son-in-law of William Palmer of
Hampton, but not his stepson.

Byles: Additions and Corrections. — The following additions and correc-
tions should be made in the article entitled "The Byles Family," which appears
in the present volume of the Register (pp. 101-117, April 1915).
Page 113, line 19. The father of William James Almon (husband of Rebecca
Byles, 6, i) was James Almon.
Page 114, line 35. Judge John William Ritchie's estate at Hahfax was called
** Belmont," not "Winwick." The latter name was given to another Ritchie
place at Halifax.
Page 114, hne 41. Andrew Belcher Almon married Mary Walcott of Salem,
Mass.
Page 114, line 44. For "John" read "Lewis John." He was a lawyer, and
married Mary Robertson (not Robinson), daughter of Hon. John Robertson, a
senator of the Dominion of Canada.
Page 115, lines 24-48. The four children of Rev. Mather^ Byles, D.D. (6), by
bis second wife should undoubtly be arranged in the following order:

xii. Samuel, b. in 1782; d. 18 July 1782.
xiii. Samuel, b. 30 Mar. 1784; d. not later than 10 Dec. 1784.

Historical Intelligence
Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which they
believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The cost of paint-
ing the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the applicants,
and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the application is rejected, the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
I'he Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.
It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
286 Recent Books [July
arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manors, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in supple-
mentary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applications in
which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated in the
report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.
Printed directions for the making of appUcations may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family liistory or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.
Mattoon. — Philip, bom probably at Glasgow, Scot., about 1620, died at Deer-
field, Mass., 30 Dec. 1696, by Winford Lecky Mattoon, 104 West Lane Avenue,
Columbus, Ohio.
Tayler. — William, died at Concord, Mass., 6 Dec. 1696, by Fred E. Mclntyre,
42 Frankhn Street, Keene, N. H.

WILLIAM ENDICOTT, A.M.
By Julius Herbert Tuttle, Esq., of Dedham, Mass.
William Endicott, the eldest child of William and Joanna Lovett
(Rantoul) Endicott, was born at Beverly, Mass., 4 January 1828, and
died in Boston 7 November 1914. He was seventh in descent from
Governor John^ Endecott and his second wife, Elizabeth Gibson,
through Zerubbabel,^ the younger son of the Governor, and his wife
Mary, SamueP and Hannah (Felton), Samuel'* and Anna (Endecott),
John^and Elizabeth M. (Jacobs), Robert^ and Mary (Holt), daughter
of Rev. Nathan Holt of Dan vers, and William,^ his father. His
mother was of Huguenot descent. Mr. Endicott inherited the sturdy
traits of his ancestors, and lived to a good old age, eighty-eight years,
which in the direct ancestral line was exceeded only by the age of his
father, who died in February 1899, within two weeks of completing
his hundredth year.
Mr. Endicott's boyhood days were passed in his native town; and
the strong ties of his youth and early manhood with that place were
never broken, for he always supported loyally all matters of public
interest and service there. He kept his summer home at Beverly;
but from the late fifties he made his winter home in Boston, first at
13 Pemberton Square in 1858 and 1859, then at 10 Mt. Vernon Street
in 1860, and later at 32 Beacon Street. His life began at a time when
the idea of an early apprenticeship was still dominant, and it was not
unnatural that the boy of fourteen years should leave the schoolroom
for the counter. It is said, too, that he was not rugged enough to
undertake a college course. Therefore in January 1840, after gradu-
ation at Beverly Academy, then under the principalship of Thomas
Barnard West of Salem, young Endicott became a clerk with his
father in Beverly in what was a typical general country store. His
remarkable career in the dry-goods business and in the larger service
to humanity began here with zealous interest and became his life
work, only to be dropped in August 1910, in his eighty-fifth year,
when he retired from the firm of C. F. Hovey and Company.
Mr. Hovey, on his way from his home in Gloucester to Boston and
back, had occasion often to have business dealings with the senior
Endicott, and, being attracted to the alert and promising son of
twenty years, took him in September 1846 as a clerk into his Boston
TOL. LXIX, 19
292 William Endicott [Oct.
store at 15 Federal Street, the firm name being then Hovey, Williams
& Company. Mr. Endicott's name first appeared in the Boston
Directory of 1849 as at 13 Winter Street, then a residential section,
whither the firm had moved when R. C. Greenleaf and John Chandler
had become members. On 1 January 1851 Mr. Endicott was first
advertised as a member, and later served with unusual skill and ability
as the treasurer of the firm and manager of its finances, guiding it
safely through the panics of 1857 and 1873. In 1854 its abode was
changed to 33 Summer Street, where it has since remained. From
his early experience in this connection he became identified with large
moneyed interests and developed a natural ability for financial con-
trol. His honesty, ability, remarkable foresight, and wise judgment,
with his winning personality, gained the confidence of capital and of
charitable and philanthropic interests.
The Suffolk Savings Bank for Seamen and Others, recognizing Mr.
Endicott's financial ability and his influence in the community,
elected him a member of its corporation in 1859, a trustee in 1863,
and one of the Board of Investment in 1875. He was raised to the
office of vice-president in 1883, and promoted from that position to
the presidency in 1885. From all these positions he resigned in 1900.
He was also for many years a trustee of the Provident Institution for
Savings. In the New England Trust Company he was a director for
forty-one years, from 8 December 1870 until his resignation on 17
January 1912, serving as chairman of the Board of Directors from 29
June 1905 until he withdrew from the directorate. He was also
president of the Company for twenty-six years, from 1 March 1879
to 29 June 1905.
He was sought for often as a candidate for public office, which he
steadily declined, and also for membership in many organizations.
During his seventy years of business life, he says in his '' Reminis-
cences," more than half the time was given to other concerns. In his
early life he took a quiet yet active part in political campaigns; but
he had no liking for public life. He gave generously of his time and
means to the great causes which enlisted his support. Through his
interest in the larger freedom of commerce he became in 1855 an
honorary member of the Cobden Club. In June 1856 he went as an
alternate delegate to the first Republican convention in Philadelphia,
which nominated Frem^ont for the Presidency. He was one of the
group of men who gave their ardent support to the cause of freedom
in Kansas. During the Civil War he gave much time and strength
to the support of the Union cause, and responded promptly to the
call of all emergencies. It was through the urgent insistence of such
men as he that the credit of the Nation was saved by holding to
its agreement to redeem its paper and bonds in gold. Governor
Andrew turned to him often as a valued adviser. He was a founder
and the treasurer of the New England Loyal Publication Society, the
purpose of which was to influence public opinion in all loyal efl'orts to
suppress the Rebellion, to strengthen the Government, and to abolish
slavery. Its work was mainly in the North and West; and its in-
fluence was exerted through the newspaper press by the publication
each week of a broadside which was sent to several hundred news-
1915] William Endicott 293
papers, with permission to use the matter freely without giving its
source. Here he gave a gratuitous service, with John M. Forbes as
president, James B. Thayer as secretary, and Charles Eliot Norton
as editor. In 1889 he departed from his former resolution not to hold
public office, and accepted the appointment of the Governor to be a
member of the Commission on State House Extension. The work,
which lasted until 1906 before its completion, was highly creditable
alike to the Commonwealth and to Mr. Endicott.
After the close of the War Mr. Endicott foresaw the need of such
an institution as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was
deeply interested in the inception of the movement to establish it.
He was one of the number named in the act of incorporation in 1866,
served as its treasurer from 1866 to 1871, and stood firmly back of the
Institute during its early struggle for existence. He not only gave
largely of his own means, but he used his influence in leading others
to give the needed financial help. The Institute is indebted to him
for the increase of its funds by more than half a million of dollars;
and the last evidence of his interest in it was a bequest of $25,000.
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts counts Mr. Endicott among its
greatest benefactors. His earnest support of its important work
began with the initial steps in its organization, and continued with
unabated interest until his resignation on 16 March 1907 from the
Board of Trustees, on account of his advancing years. He was one
of its incorporators on 4 February 1870, with Martin Brimmer and
ten others; its treasurer, pro tempore, in 1888, 1894, and 1895; a
member of its Finance Committee, 1889-1897; its president, 1896-
1901; and chairman of the Committee on Land and Buildings, 1899-
1902. His untiring efforts were a great factor in securing from time
to time the needed financial support for the institution and in giving
to the Museum the conditions which have led to its high standing,
influence, and usefulness in the community.
Mr. Endicott was warmly interested in the Perkins Institution and
Massachusetts School for the Blind, of which he was a trustee from
October 1888 to October 1911. He was a member of its Committee
on Finance for nearly the same period, and was elected chairman of
the Board of Trustees on 20 December 1909.
On 2 May 1888 Mr. Endicott 's great services during the Civil War
were recognized by his election as a member of the Military Order of
the Loyal Legion, Massachusetts Commandery, in the Third Class
(Civilian). Of this honored number, who were elected before 15
April 1890, he was the last survivor. In this election he is recorded
as ''a gentleman, who, in civil life, during the Rebelhon, was espe-
cially distinguished for conspicuous and consistent loyalty, an earnest
supporter by influence and means of all measures for the maintenance
of the war and the preservation of the Union; a generous friend to
the soldier; a most loyal citizen.''
The New England Historic Genealogical Society elected him a
resident member on 1 June 1870, and he became a life member the same
year. While he could not spare much time, he kept in touch with the
Society's interests, and served as vice-president, 1887-1892, and as
councillor, 1889-1892. He was one of the founders of The Massachu-
294 Diary of James Parker [Oct.
setts Society, now The Colonial Society of Massachusetts, incorpo-
rated 29 December 1892, and he took an interested part in its work.
On 8 March 1906 he became a resident member of the Massachu-
setts Historical Society. The two valuable communications which
he made to its Proceedings are his tribute to Charles Eliot Norton, in
which he gives an account of the New England Loyal Publication
Society and of Mr. Norton's service as editor, and his ''Reminiscences
of Seventy-Five Years,'' a paper which gives a vivid and most inter-
esting story of the affairs and the times of v/hich he was an intimate
witness and a large part, carr^^ing the reader back to the thirties and
over the span of a lifetime which saw most remarkable changes.
In 1888 Harvard University conferred on Mr. Endicott the honorary
degree of Master of Arts, as Williams College had done many years
before, in 1868.
Mr. Endicott was a Unitarian, and from hLs early Boston days and
for more than fifty years was a member of King's Chapel. He was
for a long time also treasurer of the permanent funds of the Boston
Young Men's Christian Union.
Mr. Endicott married, 31 March 1857, Mrs. Annie Thorndike
(Rand) Nourse, daughter of Rev. Asa and Clarissa (Thorndike) Rand
and widow of John Frederick Nourse. Her father was a graduate of
Dartmouth, in the Class of 1806, and her motiier was a daughter of
Capt. Nicholas Thorndike. Her first husband, John Frederick
Nourse, who belonged to a Beverty family, was graduated at Yale in
1843, and was principal of the Chapman School in Boston at the time
of his sudden death from overwork, 17 January 1854. Mrs. Endicott
died 29 February 1876. Mr. Endicott is survived by a son, William
Endicott, A. B. (Harvard, 1887), whose rare devotion to his father
made happy his declining years.
Mr. Endicott 's memory will be cherished by all who knew him, by
the institutions of which he was an inspiring member, and by the
community which has benefited so largely by his devoted service to
high ideals.

EXTRACTS FROM A RENTAL OF THE MANOR
OF
• ORMESBY, CO. NORFOLK, ENGLAND, 1610
Communicated by J. Gardner Bartlett, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
Among the early settlers of New England before 1640 were Henry
Dow, William Estow, Robert and William Marston, John, Thomas,
and Wilham Moulton, Thomas Niidd, Robert Page, and William
Palmer, all of Hampton, N. H., Richard Carver of Watertown, Mass.,
and John and W^illiam Marston of Salem, Mass. All these colonists
were from Ormesby, co. Norfolk, England, and most of them sailed
from Great Yarmouth, co. Norfolk, for New England in Apr. 1637.*
Of the two parishes in Norfolk named Ormesby, Ormesby St. Margaret
(with Scratby) lies on the coast of the North Sea, about five miles
north from Great Yarmouth, and its parish registers prior to 1675 are
lost; Ormesby St. Michael adjoins Ormesby St. Margaret on the
V. est, and its registers date from 1568.
In the Public Record Office in London there is preserved a rental
of the Manor of Ormesby for the year 1610 (General Series of Rentals
and Surveys, portfolio 12, no. 52), and the following extracts from
this rental contain every mention in the roll of any of the family names
given above. t

rental there are no periods after these abbreviations, but over them are special marks
which have not been reproduced in the printed copy. Periods have been inserted also
after the usual letters standing for shillings and pence. The abbreviation di. occurs
also at various places in the rental for half, being equivalent to denii-.

of said Road to my Son Thomas Banister, Also in fee tail, but as there are
Actions on large Mortgages on said farms for Bills of Credit as Well as
Silver, due to the heirs of the late John Freebody Deceased, pending in the
Law, and as the Expences of Makeing good the Depreciation of it be finally
so Determined with the Scarcity of the Bills of Credit for w^hich said farms

[The following brief genealogy shows the family connections of the testator
whose wiU is given above:
1. Thomas^ Banister, merchant, is found in Boston, Mass., in 1685, having
come thither with his family and with considerable property. He died
between 13 July and 20 Aug. 1709. He married Sarah , who died
between 30 June and 22 July 1711.
The will of Thomas Banister of Boston, merchant, dated 25 Jan. 1708/9,
with codicil dated 13 July 1709, was i^roved 20 Aug. 1709. It provides for
wife Sarah, only daughter Mary, and sons Thomas (who is called eldest son),
Samuel, and John; gives to grandchild Thomas, eldest son of son Thomas,
£500 at age of twenty-one; and bequeaths to the testator's mother £10 per
annum for life, to be paid in London, to the testator's brother, John Banister
of Banbury, co. Oxford, England, £10, and to the testator's eldest sister,
Anne Carter, and to his sister, Mary Aline, £10 apiece. The testator's pew
in ''ye New Meeting House in Brattle Street" is left to his wife Sarah for life
and is then to descend to his grandson Thomas and the male heirs of the
latter, and for want of such to the next male heirs. (Suffolk Probate Records,
vol. 16, p. 606.)
The will of Sarah Banister of Boston, widow, dated 30 June and proved
22 July 1711, mentions daughter Mary, the wife of Mr. Giles Dyer, sons
Thomas, Samuel, and John, and grandsons Thomas and John Banister (who
are called very young). The three sons are appointed executors. (Suffolk
Probate Records, vol. 17, p. 284.)
Children : *
2. i. Thomas.2
ii. Samuel, b. in Boston 11 July 1686; d. before 23 May 1750, when
administration on the estate of Samuel Banister formerly of Boston
but late of Newport, merchant, deceased, was granted to his
nephew, John Banister of Newport, merchant. (Suffolk Probate
Records, vol. 44, p. 50.)
iii. John, d. s.p. in 1714.t
iv. Hannah, b. in Boston 30 Sept. 1688; d. in Aug. 1690.
V. Mary, b. in Boston 10 July 1690; m. in Boston, 7 Oct. 1710, Giles
Dyer, A.B. (Harvard, 1706), b. in Boston 5 Dec. 1G85, d. 1723, 8.
of Giles and Hannah.
vi. Hannah, b. in Boston 19 Mar. 1691/2; bapt. in First Church,
Boston, 20 Mar. 1691/2; d. before 25 Jan. 1708/9.
* In addition to the six children whose names follow, mention should be made of an
Elizabeth, who according to the Boston records was born 21 July 1693, child of John
and Sarah Banister. Elizabeth Bannister, presumably the same chOd, was baptized
in the First Church, Boston, 23 July 1693. Perhaps Joh?i as the name of the father
may be a mistake for Thomas, and in this case this Elizabeth would be another child
of Thomas! and Sarah Banister. But the records of the P'irst Church, Boston, show
also the baptism of a John Banister, 2 Dec. 1694, the names of the parents not being
given.
t "There is on file in the office of the Secretary of State, Hartford, Connecticut, a
petition dated September 28, 1747, signed by John Banister of Newport, Samuel
Banister of Stonington, and William Bowen of Boston, and Frances, his wife. It
states that their grandfather, Thomas Banister of Boston, made his last will January
25, 1708-9, in which he divided his property among his three sons, Thomas, Samuel,
and John. John died in 1714 without issue; Thomas died in November, 1716, leaving
two sons, John and Samuel, and one daughter, Frances, wife of William Bowen."
(Bowen's Lineage of the Bowens of Woodstock, Connecticut, p. 100.) John^ Banister
is named after his brothers Thomas and Samuel in the wills of his father and mother
and in the record of probate of his mother's will, yet he was old enough to be one of the
executors of his mother's will in 1711. He was probably born, therefore, after Samuel
and before the first Hannah.

Newport, merchant. According to a manuscript in the possession
of the Newport Historical Society, unsigned, but in the hand-
writing of Benjamin Howland, who was town clerk of Newport for
many years in the early part of the nineteenth century, this John
Banister favored the American cause at the time of the Revolu-
tion; and when the British forces were in Rhode Island they
seized his mansion (which was standing on Pelham St., Newport,
when Howland wrote) and also took possession of his farm at
Middletown. He went to England and obtained an order for the
payment of a considerable sum of monej'' in New York, as compen-
sation for his losses; but on account of his ''rebellious principles"
payment was refused by the British authorities in New York.
His journey to England led to his being suspected by the American
authorities, and they were about to proceed against him as a

ill. Thomas, a minor in 1767. From the Howland manuscript men-
tioned above the following information about this Thomas Banister
has been derived: Unlike his brother John, Thomas Banister was
a Tory; and when the British troops came to Rhode Island he
enlisted, and went with them to New York when they evacuated
Rhode Island. His whole estate in Rhode Island, including a part
of the Pelham property, was confiscated. After the Revolution
he resided on Long Island, married a lady at Rockaway, Long
Island, and had one daughter and two sons. Pie never came back
to Newport; but at one time he paid a visit to his brother John
at the latter 's house at Narragansett. His daughter married and
removed with her husband to the West, Mr. Banister going with
them and dying there. His daughter left two daughters.

[From the foregoing evidence and from records in New England hereafter
mentioned the following Leager pedigree has been compiled:
1. Jacob or James Leager, of Hadleigh, co. Suffolk, born probably before
1540, is doubtless the ''Jeames Legas ahan" who is taxed there in the
subsidy of 1567-8. He is called ''Jacobe Leagar" in the baptismal record
of his child Isaac. As he is termed an alien, he was probably a native of
Holland or Flanders, many Dutch and Flemish emigrants connected with the
cloth industry having settled in eastern England during the sixteenth cen-
tury. As "Jacobe Legare" he was buried at Hadleigh 4 June 1592. He
married probably Elizabeth , who was buried at Hadleigh, a widow,
24 Nov. 1592.
Children, recorded at Hadleigh:
i. Abraham, bapt. 2 May 1563.
ii. Sarah, bapt. 2 May 1563.
iii. Isaac, bapt. 12 Aug. 1565; probably the person who was bur.
15 Apr. 1580 as ''Isaac Legarson."
2. iv. Jacob (or James), bapt. 17 Nov. 1568.
2. Jacob or James Leager (Jacob or James), baptized at Hadleigh, co.
Suffolk, 17 Nov. 1568, was living as late as 1603, but his later history
has not been traced. The name of his wife has not been found.
Children, recorded at Hadleigh:
i. Margaret, bapt. 17 Aug. 1598.
ii. Mary, bapt. 1 Feb. 1600/1.
3. iii. Jacob, bapt. 4 Sept. 1603.
3. Jacob Leager (Jacob or James, Jacob or James), tailor, baptized at
Hadleigh, co. Suffolk, 4 Sept. 1603, resided in Hadleigh and the ad-
joining parish of Kersey until about 1638, when he emigrated to New
England with his second wife and her two children by her first mar-
riage, Solomon and Mary Greene. He settled in Boston, was admitted
freeman 2 June 1641, and died 24 Feb. 1662/3. In his will, dated
10 Nov. 1662 and proved 19 Mar. 1662/3, he bequeathed to wife Ann,
to daughters Bethia and Hannah, to children of sister Marie in Eng-

apiece to the children of my second wife, "to be payd them at theire
demand." (Suffolk Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 404.)
His first marriage, b}^ which he had no surviving issue, has not been
found; but he married secondly, by licence dated 30 Sept. 1637,
Elizabeth Greene, widow of John of Hadleigh, the testator of 1634.*
She took to New England her children, Solomon and Mary Greene,
and died before 1650. On 12 Aug. 1639 "Solomon Greene sonne of
John Greene of Hadley in Suff clothier" was apprenticed to "John
Crab tree of Boston in N. E. joyner," and the daughter, Mary Greene,
was apprenticed to "William Hudson the younger ffisherman,"
"Elizabeth Leger" appearing in a memorandum as the mother of
Solomon. t These children have not been found later in New England
records, and therefore probably returned to England. Jacob Leager
had no children by this second marriage. He married thirdly, about
1650, Ann Blake, baptized at Pitminster, co. Somerset, England,
30 Aug. 161S, daughter of William and Agnes (Band), who were later
of Dorchester, Mass. She married secondly Hallwell. On
5 Sept. 1679 Anne Leager alias lialwell of Boston, widow of Jacob
Leager, conveyed for £100 to William Penn land in Boston bounded
north by land of Fearnot Shaw, south by land of Hannah WaUcer, etc.
(Suffolk Deeds, lib. 11, fo. 229). She died 12 July 1681; and on
17 Aug. 1681 administration on the estate of Ann Leager als. Hallwell,
late of Boston, widow, deceased, was granted to "her brother John
Blake of Boston."J (Suft^olk Probate Records, vol. 9, p. 43.)
Children by third wife :
i. Bethia, bapt. at Dorchester, Mass., 10 Aug. 1651; m. abt. 1670
Fearnot Shaw of Boston. On 10 Mar. 1696/7 Fearnot Shaw of
Boston, blacksmith, and wife Bethia, daughter of Jacob Leager
deceased, conveyed for £85 to Thomas Gold land in Boston, being
the portion of said Bethia in her father's estate (Suffolk Deeds,
Kb, 14, fo. 308). Children, recorded in Boston: 1. Jacob, b. 6 Nov.
1672. 2. John, b. 30 Mar. 1678. 3. William, b. 4 Nov. 1684.
ii. Hannah, b. in Boston 14 Nov. 1655; d. 13 Oct. 1690; m. (1) abt.
1676 John Walker, probably the man who was b. in Boston
14 July 1656, s. of Robert and Sarah. The will of John Walker,
dated 13 Dec. 1678 and proved in Feb. 1678/9, gave all the testa-
tor's estate to his wife and daughter Hannah, the overseers being
his uncle [wife's uncle] John Blake and Theophilus Frairy (Suffolk
Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 467). Hannah (Leager) Walker, widow
of John, m. (2) Thomas Phillips of Boston, innholder, whose will,

Henry; m. (2) abt. 1619 Elizabeth , who m. (2) 30 Sept. 1637, as his second wife,
Jacob Leager, as is stated above. The two marriages of John Greene are inferred from
the terms of his will, from the fact that only his two youngest surviving children went
to New England with his widow, and from the improbability that Jacob Ijeager, b. in
1603, would have m. Elizabeth (Bowton) Greene, bapt. in 1586/7, a woman sixteen
years his senior. Therefore the children of John Greene are probably to be arranged
as follows: Children by first wife, the first three recorded as bapt. at Hadleigh: 1.
John, bapt. 6 Apr. 1607. 2. Anne, bapt. 30 Apr. 1609. 3. Elizabeth, bapt. 2 June
1611; m. at Hadleigh, 31 Jan. 1632/3, William Bumsted. 4. Thomas, b. abt. 1613.
5. Alice, b. abt. 1615. 6. William, b. abt. 1617. Children by second vnie, bapt. at
Hadleigh: 7. Susanna, bapt. 13 Nov. 1620; bar. 1 Feb. 1624/5. 8. Benjamin, bapt.
10 Nov. 1622; d. young. 9. Benjamin, bapt. 23 Nov. 1623; bur. 25 Jan. 1624/5.

358 Genealogical Research in England [Oct.
[From the evidence furnished by the foregoing records and from New
England sources the following facts about Tliomas Ewer and his family have
been compiled:
Thomas Ew^er, baptized at Strood, co. Kent, 10 Mar. 1592/3, was prob-
ably a brother of Ursula, Elizabeth, and Rebecca Ewer, whose baptisms are
recorded in the registers of Strood, and was perhaps a nephew of Philemon
Ewer, the testator of 1617/18, whose will is the only will of the Ewers of
CO. Kent that has been found. He married first, at Strood, 13 Sept. 1614,
Bridget Hipsley, who died probably about 1623; and secondl3% at Bermond-
sey, CO. Surrey, 13 Jan. 1623/4, Sara Learned,* born about 1606, daughter
of William (who was of Charlestown, Mass., in 1632), who survived her hus-
band and married secondly, in New England, 11 Dec. 1639, Thomas Lothrop,
son of Rev. John.f Thomas Ewer, tailor, aged 40, with wife Sara, aged 28,
and children Ehzabeth, aged 4, and Thomas, aged 1^, embarked for New
England in the ship James in June 1635. On their arrival they settled at
Charlestown, where Sara Ewer was admitted to the church 12 Dec. 1635 and
her husband 8 Jan. 1635/6. Thomas Ewer was admitted freeman 3 Mar.
1635/6, and died in 1638, administration on his estate being granted 4 Dec.
1638 to his widow, Sara. On 31 Oct. 1638 Anthony Dyaper, citizen and
diaper, of London, and Andrew Blake of "Strowde in the County of Kent,
gent.," were empowered to gather up goods and debts in the ''Realme of
England" due to Thomas Ewer, ''late of Charles Towne .... De-
ceased."J This Thomas Ewer was probably the "one Ewre" who according
to Winthrop (History of New England, vol. 1, p. 280) was charged in 1637
with having said about twelve months before ''that, if the King did send any
authority hither against our patent, he would be the first should resist him."
Ewer was acquitted of the charge.
Children by first wife, baptized at Strood:
i. William, bapt. 8 Dec. 1616.
ii. Elizabeth, bapt. 13 Sept. 1618; bur. at Strood 23 Sept. 1618.
iii. Robert, bapt. 6 Oct. 1622; bur. at Strood 14 July 1623.

CO. Suffolk, and her daughter EHzabeth, wife of Edmund Greenleaf, about
land in the parish of St. Mary at the Tower, Ipswich.
The evidence shows that the plaintiff, Richard Fryeth alias Norman, was
son and heir of John Fryeth alias Norman, that Elizabeth Greenleaf was the
plaintiff's half sister, and that Agnes Fryeth alias Norman was his stepmother
and evidently very much j^ounger than her husband, whom she described as
having been old and decrepit in 1576, when the land in dispute was purchased,
so that she was obliged to support the family until he died in September 1590.
Richard Fryeth alias Norman claimed the land as his father's son and heir,
but his stepmother claimed that the land was bought with money that she
herself had earned. (Public Record Office, Court of Requests, unindexed
records, Bundle 466.)
[Edmund Greenleaf, the emigrant to New England, is known to have
married about 1612, and to have come from Ipswich, co. Suffolk, where the
registers of St. Mary at the Tower and St. Margaret show the baptisms of
his children between 1613 and 1631. (Vide Register, vol. 38, p. 300.)
His baptism has not been found; but he was born probably about 1590, as
he was lieutenant of the Newbury (Mass.) military company as late as 1647,
and hved until 1671.
An Edmund Greenleaf, son of John and Margaret, was baptized at St.
Mary at the Tower, Ipsmch, 2 Jan. 1574/5, and he has been claimed as the
emigrant. (Greenleaf Genealogy, page 71.) But this man was apparently
born too early to be the emigrant, who may well, however, have been a son
of the Edmund Greenleaf mentioned in the record of the suit given above;
for the parents of the latter's wife EHzabeth were certainly married some
time before 1576. — J. Gardner Bartlett]

SOME NOTARIAL RECORDS AT PORTSMOUTH, N. H.
Communicated by Mrs, Ida May Wightman of Newton, N, H.
There is in the library of the Portsmouth (N. H.) Athenaeum a
quarto manuscript volume of 68 pages, some of which are blank,
which contains the notarial records of three notaries public of Ports-
mouth, who transacted their legal business during the years 1692-
1707. The records of Henry Crown occupy pages 1-24, inclusive
(1692-1695), those of William Redford pages 25-31, inclusive (1695-
1697), while the remainder of the book, pages 32-65, inclusive
(1697-1707), contains the records of Henry Penny.
The entries consist chiefly of protests of shipmasters and ship-
owners and drafts from agents and factors, with a sprinkling of dep-
ositions, letters of attorney, and miscellaneous statements made for
record in suits at law. They reflect the mercantile business of that
maritime community. In the following abstracts of these entries all
names of persons (except magistrates and notaries) and of places have
been preserved. In some cases verbatim transcripts of the records,
indi^'ated by quotation marks, have been made, and usually the words
of the original entry have been followed, even when an exact quota-
tion is not indicated. Only unnecessary legal verbiage has been
eliminated.

NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection with their own enterprises, the Society aga,in de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in Eng-
land the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her
time as a searcher of records there along special lines for the
benefit of the Register.

Wilson-Rouse. — The following genealogical records have been foimd among
a mass of manuscripts, for the most part business letters, receipts, and accounts,
in the possession of the Newport (R. I.) Historical Society. Many statements
in these records differ from the accounts of the Wilson family which are printed
in the Collections of the Rhode Island Historical Society, vol. 3, pp. 293-294, and
in Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, p. 230; and several items
of additional information may be extracted from them.

Capt. John Gorham's Bible. — In the present volume of the Register, pp.
242-243, some family records were printed which were written on a leaf that at
one time formed a part of a Bible belonging to Capt. John Goriiam. Illustra-
tions showing the two sides of the leaf were there given, and the Bible was traced
from Capt. John Gorham to his great-granddaughter, Experience Hawes. Bar-
ring unusual methods of transfer, the descent of tliis Bible (or of the leaf taken
from it) from Experience Hawes to Hiram Luce is probably made clear by the
following facts:
Experience Hawes, born at Edgartown, Mass., 14 Nov. 1706, daughter of
Benjamin, was married to Shubael Claghorn of Chilmark, Mass. Her husband
died 14 Jan. 1754, in his 54th year, and she died 19 Sept. 1778, in her 72d year.
(Vital Records of Chilmark.) Their daughter, Jedidah Claghorn, born 21
1727, died 17 Feb. 1799, was married 4 Apr. 1748 (or 1747) to Capt. Joseph Luce
of Tisbury, Mass., born 25 Sept. 1726, died 22 Mar. 1808, son of Jonathan and
Lvdia. Joseph Luce, Jr., son of Joseph and Jedidah (Claghorn), was born 27 Apr.
1765, married 31 Aug. 1794 Ehzabeth Lumbart, and died 24 Sept. 1827, his wife
surviving him and dying 10 Dec. 1834, aged 69 years, 1 month, and 22 days.
Joseph and Elizabeth (Lumbart) Luce were the parents of Edmund Luce, born
24 Aug. 1795, died at Tisbury 21 Dec. 1874, who married 10 Sept. 1820 Sallv Luce,
born 31 Aug. 1797, died at Tisbury 3 July 1873, daughter of Thomas. Edmund
and Sally (Luce) Luce were the parents of Hiram Luce, born at Tisbury 14 Apr.
1829, died at West Tisbury 11 Oct. 1911, among whose papers the leaf from the
Bible was found. (See Vital Records of Tisbury, vital statistics in the State
House, Boston, and records of the United States Census of 1850.)
The statement in the present volume of the Register, p. 243, that Hiram Luce
was grandson of a Thomas Luce, should therefore be interpreted in the light of
the facts given above, which show, if the record in the State House at Boston be
correct, that Thomas Luce was the maternal grandfather of Hiram.

Maverick. — In the Bishop's transcripts of the parish registers of Trull, co.
Somerset, Eng., which are preserved at Wells, may be found the records of the
christening, on 2 March 1627 [1627/8], of '' William s. of John Mevericke als.
Bull," and of the burial, on 22 December 1623, of "Joan dr. of John Bull."
(Dwelley's Parish Records, vol. 2, p. 3 14.) In the present volume of the Register,
p. 149, it was shown that Rev. Peter Maverick, father of Rev. John Maverick of
Dorchester, Mass., was called " Peter Maverick alias Bull " and *'' Peter Bull alias
Maverick," and from the same article in the Register (p. 152) it is known that
Rev. Peter Maverick had a brother John, whose son John, baptized at Honiton,
CO. Devon, 4 Feb. 1593/4, was living 27 Nov. 1622. It is possible that the rec-
ords found in the transcripts of the parish registers of Trull refer to children of
this last-mentioned John, nephew of Peter Maverick alias Bull and cousin of
Rev. John Maverick.

Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eUgible to make application for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that S3.00 for each coat will barely,
suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the apphcation is rejected, the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.
It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in size, there wiU be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manors, etc., and provision is contemplated for fiUng such contributions in supple-
mentary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applications in
which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated in the
report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.
Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.
American Loyalists. — E. Alfred Jones, M.A., Editor of the "Biographical
Dictionary of the American Loyalists," will gladly receive information about
American Loyalists, and asks especially for names of parents, copies of parents'
wills, place and dates of births, dates of marriages and names of wives' parents,
names and dates of births of children, dates, etc., of children's marriages, dates
and places of Loyalists' deaths, copies of their wills, information aV)out any exist-
ing relics, such as portraits, original letters, family possessions, etc., and references
to family connections with other Loyalists. Mr. Jones may be addressed at the
Royal Societies Club, St. James's Street, London, S. W.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. AH names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

1585, died in Boston in 1659, who came to New England in 1632, supposedly
from Aylesford, co. Kent, by Marion H. Reynolds, Harvard University, Cam-
bridge, Mass.
Vroom. — Cornehs Hendricks, born in Holland, died in Brooklyn, N.Y., about
1680, who came to New Amsterdam in 1635 and is supposed to bo a descendant
of Henry Cornelis Vroom, marine artist, by Joseph F. Gould, Norwood, Mass.

Have Your Old
Family Daguerreotypes
Old Faded Photographs, Tintypes, Miniatures, Paint-
ings, and other Family Portraits ; also Old Manuscripts
reproduced privately in
miMmWint$
for gifts to your relatives as well as for preserva-
tion in case of loss or of damage to the originals,
or of fading in the case of old photographs.
Doubtless every reader of the Register has an old picture of his grand-
father or other ancestors, of which other members of the family would
like to have copies. They make unique gifts to relatives for birthdays,
weddings. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other occasions of family reunion
or celebration.
Even if not for gifts, the frequent loss of originals by fire, the common
injury to daguerreotypes (which, however, we can usually restore), and
the fading of old photographs, make it desirable to have them preserved by
reproduction in the permanent form of The Copley Prints.
Particulars and prices (which are moderate) will be sent on request.
New and complete Illustrated Catalogue of The Copley Prints, The
Copley Color Prints and The Copley Etchings (practically a handbook of
American Art) sent for 25 cents (stamps). This charge deducted from
a subsequent purchase of the Prints.
